“Insensitive,” one posted.

One social media user shared, “Now I understand the hate against this man! Since I don’t follow this couple so always thought that people unnecessary troll or hate every other celebrity but now I get it. They deserve hate for the insensitivity. Posting message regarding his well being was fine but mentioning about vlog is another level of foolishness”.

“New vlog coming soon… Pathetic,” wrote one, while another social media users asked people to “boycott” him.
