Joey Barton caused quite a stir last month when he engaged in a twitter war with the cast of The Only Way Is Essex. This time, however, we’re sure the QPR football player’s tweets will slip by with no comment from the person they were aimed at, Paris Hilton, who he said was “the embodiment of everything I don't stand for”.
So what did Paris do to offend Joey? The heiress’ current profile picture on twitter is of her FHM front cover shoot, which also has a tiny picture of Joey at the side. It would seem that Joey isn’t keen on being used as her profile picture…. Even though it’s really small and has no doubt gone unnoticed by her millions of followers.
On being told about the profile picture he decided to go to his Twitter page and vent his frustrations. He said, “Just found out I am on @parishilton profile pic. I feel violated. She is the embodiment of everything I don't stand for. Bad day in my life!
“Never met her personally, so this is opinion based but have seen enough of her to think she's not orbiting the same planet as most of us!
“If I was heiress to a global hotel fortune, I wouldn't be s**king off some kn*b head on camera for a raise in profile. Maybe that's just me? I mean, who goes on tv looking for a best friend? Only a f**king dullard that's who. Strange world we live in people......
“It baffles me that people can become idolised without having a semblance of talent or any moral fortitude.”
He then sent a tweet to FHM’s deputy editor, saying: “I am aware that in the name of profits, we sometimes have to swim with the turds but surely its not gotten that bad just yet?
“Actually I take that back, that was offensive. I mean I am sure a turd, would teach us far more and at least stand for something.”
