Where I think people get into hot water is when they've made a joke about a sensitive subject, have been attacked, and then said, "I'm just making a joke, come on," when actually the joke isn't that good, and maybe if it had been better there wouldn't have been that much of a fuss.

The Tom Green-assisted "smashed the homies" bit from the first season of his VH1 reality dating show For the Love of Ray J was the worst kind of meme; back in 2011, he allegedly punched Fabulous in the face for making a joke about his piano-playing skills, and three years later he copped a plea after facing sexual assault charges following an incident in a Beverly Hills hotel.

Tara Swennen, Stewart's longtime stylist, wasn't at all phased by this: "At this point I know I'm always going to get sent a photo of her carrying her shoes, so I should start compiling them and making a joke out of it because it's kind of great," she told The Telegraph, adding that the actress values comfort, which is why you'll find her wearing Chanel with sneakers, as only she can (and as she would go on to do later that day).
