Bette Midler Faces Backlash After Tweeting Photo Of Teens On Their Phones

The 74-year-old is currently facing backlash for tweeting an image of teens on their phones.

Back in March 2016, she found herself in the middle of a social media war with Kim Kardashian over an almost-nude selfie the reality star had posted.

But Kim didn't take her haters' comments lying down.

In addition to clapping back at Piers Morgan and actress Chloë Grace Mortez who also criticized the pic, she shot back at the 74-year-old actress where it hurt: her age.

She sent out another tweet afterward, calling Midler out for being a fake friend:

"hey @BetteMidler I really didn't want to bring up how you sent me a gift awhile back trying to be a fake friend then come at me #dejavu."

She weighed in on the comments Bieber's dad Jeremy made when Justin's nude photos from his 2015 Bora Bora vacation leaked online.

“@justinbieber what do you feed that thing. #proud daddy," Jeremy tweeted and then later deleted.

"@justinbieber dad tweeted he’s proud of his son’s penis size. I think the biggest [expletive] in this situation is the dad who abandoned his son," she wrote.

"I look at it as entertainment. I don’t take it seriously. It’s easier to write a thought in 140 characters than it is to waffle on for acres and acres and acres of words," she told People.

"If it amuses a few people a couple times a day, great. They shouldn’t look for anything more than that.”

It all started when she posted this image of three teenagers staring on their phones, appearing to ignore the artwork around them at a museum.

Those on Twitter found that the only thing wrong with the image was that she had taken and posted it in the first place.

A Twitter user agreed with Morgan, adding, "there's a creep in the museum photographing teenage girls to post online without their knowledge or consent."

She was also called out for being on her phone while snapping the image of them.

"They’re on their phone... you’re on yours... only one is taking a pic of strangers and putting them on blast to millions of people. So... you’re what’s wrong with this picture."

But in general, the support for Midler was few and far in-between.

Thye also pointed out how the museum has an app where you can learn about the history of the paintings on your phone, which means that the teens could have been doing that.

What do you think of Bette's tweet? Is she going too far?
