Brian McFadden is no stranger to causing controversy on Twitter and last night, he was forced to issue an apology to his followers after he made a comment about domestic violence that rubbed some people up the wrong way.
The Sunday World reports that Brian made the following comment after there was a flurry of tweets about a man who physically assaulted his female companion at a popular bar near Bondi Beach in Australia.
Witnesses to the incident immediately took to the social networking website and recounted the details of how a man had been arrested after he slapped his female companion in the face in front of everyone in the bar.
However, not everyone “got” what Brian was trying to say with his tweet and the former Westlife singer soon found himself caught up in a storm of angry tweets.
