Griffin Johnson apologizes after making \u201cmisogynistic\u201d joke YouTube: Griffin Johnson[jwplayer ksH6zuKH]TikTok star and former Sway House member Griffin Johnson is coming under fire after making a joke that many critics found misogynistic \u2014 a statement he has since apologized for. Griffin Johnson has become a somewhat divisive figure in the TikTok community, after parting ways with girlfriend Dixie D\u2019Amelio in wake of allegations of cheating on the influential \u2018Be Happy\u2019 singer. While the two have since made up in private, fans are still upset with Johnson \u2014 especially after he uploaded a faux apology video that appeared to address the Dixie cheating allegations, but instead jokingly discussed a previous bet with fellow TikToker Bryce Hall. Now, Johnson is facing critics\u2019 ire once again, after tweeting out a controversial joke that appeared to poke fun at female comedians on August 25. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CDxPCSSngat\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link \u201cThey nicknamed me \u2018girl,\u2019 \u2018cause I\u2019m not funny,\u201d the TikToker wrote. Needless to say, Johnson faced a slew of backlash after publishing the tweet, which many found misogynistic in nature. \u201cJokes, jokes,\u201d Johnson clarified \u2014 but fans were not here for his explanation. \u201cThat\u2019s the most unfunny and patronizing thing I\u2019ve read today,\u201d one user said of the joke. that\u2019s the most unfunny and patronising thing i\u2019ve read today \u2014 bella \u2606 (@trustfundbella) August 24, 2020 \u201cThat was not funny,\u201d another chimed in. \u201cNot amused. Not a laugh. Not a chuckle. Not a haha or even a hehe. That was not funny at all. I would be embarrassed if I were you. You need a tutor on comedy and on humor, \u2018cause this just ain\u2019t it.\u201d That was not funny. Not amused. Not a laugh. Not a chuckle. Not a Haha or even a hehe. That was not funny at all. I would be embarrassed if i were you. You need a tutor on comedy and on humor cuz this just aint it. It was terrible. It was horrible. It was NOT funny. \u2014 \u064b (@rainberrywlls) August 25, 2020 Still others offered Johnson tips on deactivating his account \u2014 but the star followed up with another post apologizing for the incident shortly thereafter. \u201cI am sorry to anyone this offended btw, girls are funny,\u201d he stated. However, this sentiment was rather short-lived, as the star went on to retweet a sarcastic \u201cnotes app\u201d apology made by another user that seemed to make fun of the backlash from his joke. https:\/\/twitter.com\/lmgriffjohnson\/status\/1298153128068411392?s=20 here, it\u2019s more effective from the notes https:\/\/t.co\/AbViaUDGzg \u2014 Griffin Johnson (@lmgriffjohnson) August 25, 2020 \u201cJokes make me happy when I am sad,\u201d he later tweeted. No matter the case, it doesn\u2019t look like public opinion surrounding the TikToker is all too positive at the moment, with many critics still taking issue with his joke, which remains posted to his twitter account at the time of writing. However, like many of the aforementioned incidents, it doesn\u2019t look like Griffin is letting the backlash bring him down, and is even managing to find some sort of dark humor in the scandal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
