So what is the dirt on the Jeremy Shamos/Steve Kazee Twitter war?

[biggs bunny]

What did they say? It all seems to have been removed....damn.

[Wynbish]

I think it was something Jeremy said in jest, about how Steve and Christina Perri (they're so cute) tweet each other. I wanna say it was something about how they should just text instead.

A random person favorited it kinda out of spite.

[Wynbish]

Jeremy is good friends with Cristin Milioti and is also friends with Steve, so it really was just joking around.

[orangeskittles]

It wasn't Jeremy that was the issue, it was a fan who favorited Jeremy's tweet. Steve blocked her, she laughed about it and then Steve went off on her...except I'm pretty sure if you block someone, they can't see any of your tweets.

[CurtainPullDowner]

Don't get the Kazoo mad.

[Wynbish]

Like I said, the only drama around this is that some girl favorited it or worse, even though it is totally a joke.

It's testy to follow public figures in their social media, because it is their space for their friends too, but Steve is right. Don't like his lovey-dovey-ness? Don't follow him.

[everythingtaboo]

Wait I'm confused, how do you favorite a tweet in any sort of malicious way?

[Wynbish]

I think it is more than that. She says she had a "Twitter purge". This is an assumption, but she may have posted several things disapproving of the relationship or their expression of it and her favoriting a friend's post to use against the couple may have just pushed it over the limit.

On one hand, publicly being all cute together is opening it up to be criticized. But on the other hand, there are limits.

Side track: Can we talk about how incredibly adorable Steve and Christina are together?

[Wynbish]

They really are! And he's going to see her show Sunday in Charlotte or Charleston since it's her birthday.

So, anybody planning to see Once Sunday, you may get an understudy.

[CurtainPullDowner]

No.

[willep]

So adorable together!

[CurtainPullDowner]

Is there a tape?

[orangeskittles]

Wynbish, I'm not sure someone squeeing over the cuteness of Kazee's relationship is really the best judge of what's over the limit.

There are limits...and he went too far considering she never directly addressed him:

If anyone needs a backbone, it's an actor who sets up Twitter alerts to see who's talking about him, and attacks them for it.

[PalJoey]

Team Kazee. We have his back.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I'm still quite not sure exactly what this fracas is all about, and I've read all the links presented. I always find it reassuring when celebrities find themselves prone to irrational internet-induced rage.

[somethingwicked]

orangeskittles, you're conveniently leaving out the fact that the girl in question (clearly your friend) screencapped the initial Twitter exchange and posted it to her Tumblr blog, accompanied by an immature and ridiculous rant that slammed Kazee. THAT is what caused him to block her. He didn't even say anything to her then- he only tweeted at her when she trashed him again and tried to act as if he was taking extreme measures simply because she favorited the message from Jeremy Shamos, which was a lie.

Considering she links her Theatermania byline in her Twitter bio, this girl has zero professionalism and maturity. As Kazee said, if she is so annoyed by him that she feels inclined to take to multiple digital platforms to voice her disapproval of how he conducts himself, why would she want to follow him anyway? He did her a favor, as far as she's concerned.

[Wynbish]

It's one thing to talk about his show, his Tony, his singing, or something that is just him. This was about his relationship. It's almost as bad as if she talked about his mom.

And that's what I meant when I said there are limits. We know and can comment on Steve the performer, not Steve the person. And some may see a double standard there, with all the James Barbour talk, but those two are not comparable.

[CurtainPullDowner]

If you are tweetering about your relationship,
you open yourself to all kinds of sh#t.

[adamgreer]

I still have no idea what this is all about or how favoriting a tweet is a bad thing.

[dexter3]

This is a non-issue. This thread is bull.

[orangeskittles]

somethingwicked, I have no idea who this girl is. A friend of mine called my attention to it the other night because she saw it on Steve's Twitter. I don't follow either of them. I haven't even seen Once yet.

I didn't think it was appropriate for him to publicly lambast a fan. He's a Tony winning actor representing the Best Musical. If he can't let it roll off his back, he shouldn't check the tag on Tumblr. She didn't tweet it at him or post it on his Facebook wall- he had to seek this out.

[My Oh My]

Actor gossip!!!

Nooooooooooooooooooooo. Leave them alooooooone.

[PalJoey]

Why should her Tweet or Tumblr or Instagram or Facebook post be protected?

The second she puts it out on the Internet, she is broadcasting it to the entire world, and she is subject to the reaction of the person she is posting about.

If she wanted to say what she said to only her friends, she should have sent it in a private email addressed to them individually.

(Even so, any one of them would be free to post it publicly.)

But she is not entitled to put it out to the entire world EXCEPT Steve Kazee.

[CurtainPullDowner]

No actor since Garbo has wanted to be left alone, and she was acting when she said it. If an actor is tweeting about his love life he obviously wants the attention.

[DAME]

I heard he is hung. When there are pics please tweet about that.
