Lowe went low.
Rob Lowe is coming under serious Twitter fire after a series of controversial tweets about Friday'sterrorist attacks in Paris.
"Vive La France! #Paris," Lowe tweeted as the news broke followed by, "Oh, NOW France closes its borders #Hollande," an hour later.
Vive La France! #Paris
Oh, NOW France closes its borders. #Hollande
The border comment seemingly applies to Europe's recent influx of refugees seeking asylum from the Middle East, and Lowe criticizing France for letting them into the country as they try to find new countries for residence.
Report: Dozens killed in coordinated terror attacks in Paris, theater gunmen killed
However, Lowe's critiques didn't stop there. The Grinder actor also goes on to belittle President of France Francois Hollande's speech about the attacks on his country's capital.
"This is either the worst translation of an important speech ever, or one of the worst ever given. #Hollande," Lowe tweets.
This is either the worst translation of an important speech ever, or one of the worst ever given. #Hollande
Lowe's ill-timed and insensitive tweets as dozens are declared dead in Paris were met with criticism of its own from his Twitter followers, who called out the actor for his lack of tact.
Lowe by name, low by nature "@RobLowe: Oh, NOW France closes its borders. #Hollande"
@RobLowe so disappointed with the heartless tweet. Get real Hollywood.
@RobLowe Get in the sea. Grow some sensitivity.
@RobLowe this is the worst tweet of all time
I'm @RobLowe and I have Direct TV.
And I'm racist @RobLowe. I also uh have Direct TV
Lowe did not respond to any of the angry tweeters but instead moved on from the Paris tragedy to ripping Ridley Scott and his film The Martian.
Wait, "The Martian" filmmakers want to win a Golden Globe so badly, they're entering it as a COMEDY?!! #gross #RidleyScottIsAlwaysFunny
