Woody Harrelson Demonstrates How Not to Use Social Media

Woody Harrelson[‘s PR person] provoked the anger of Redditors on Friday while attempting to promote Harrelson’s latest movie, Rampart. While Reddit AMAs (Ask Me Anything) have been well-received in the past coming from celebrities, Harrelson[‘s PR rep] clearly didn’t do his research.

Things quickly turned sour when participants realized that whoever was behind Harrelson’s account had no intention of answering any questions that didn’t concern Rampart and quickly disappeared. The highlight (or lowlight)? Redditor AndyRooney asked if Harrelson remembered crashing his prom party in LA and “taking the virginity of a girl named Roseanna. You didn’t call her afterward. She cried a lot.” The Harrelson account replied with, “First of off, its not true, and second off, I don’t want to answer questions about that. Lets focus on the film people,” an instruction sure to please internet commenters everywhere.

More than one Redditor called it the “worst AMA of all time” as criticisms piled up on the thread. Hopefully Woody Harrelson[‘s PR team] has learned a lesson.
