"Tim, you are not a serious person. You are all over the place and were called out. Pretending now it was 'trolling' (wink-wink) is lame and so D-list," a netizen commented.

"That wasn't even an apology, just an explanation. Horrible thing to do for clicks (particularly if you claim to think someone is a good person)," a netizen opined.
