VH1 started #AskThicke for fans to ask Robin Thicke questions, but the hashtag seems to have backfired.

Thicke began getting negative press with his song “Blurred Lines,” with fans saying it sounded like it advocated date rape, as seen in The Huffington Post. Then Thicke’s wife Paula Patton left him and he began desperately trying to get her back, which TheCelebrityCafe.com dubs as a publicity stunt.
With all the negative tweets with #AskThicke, fans are wondering why Thicke thought the hashtag would be a good idea in the first place, especially due to his already negative image.
#AskThicke Just how much do you regret the whole #AskThicke thing ?

#AskThicke how does it feel to be a less talented, more hated, bootlegged version of Justin Timberlake?

And some tweeters expressed their harsh distaste for Thicke all together.
What form of sexual or emotional abuse will you be normalising in your next jaunty hit? #AskThicke

#AskThicke When you're not busy objectifying women, making light of rape and justifying sexual violence, how do you like to relax?

Thicke has yet to respond to any of the #AskThicke tweets. His Twitter timeline for now is only tweets promoting his new album Paula, which is available on Itunes.
