This could be more sad than Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore's relationship troubles...
Yes, Ashton has broken up with Twitter, and will employ his management to write his tweets in the future.
Yesterday, he defended Joe Paterno, an American football coach fired for allegedly not going to police with information of a colleague's sexual abuse of children. But Ashton didn't actually realise that's why he was fired.
Oh his blog, he explained:
"Last night after returning home from work I walked by the television and simply saw a headline that Joe Paterno had been fired. Having no more information than that, I assumed that he had been fired due to poor performance as an ageing coach.
"As a football fan and someone who had watched Joe's career move from that of legend/innovator to a head coach that fulfilled his duty in the booth, I assumed that the university had let him go due to football related issues.
"With that assumption (how dare I assume) I posted a tweet defending his career. I then when about my evening, had some dinner, did a little work, and about an hour later turned on ESPN where I got the full story…
"I feel responsible for delivering an informed opinion and not spreading gossip or rumours through my Twitter feed. While I feel that running this feed myself gives me a closer relationship to my friends and fans, I've come to realise that it has grown into more [than] a fun tool to communicate with people."
After becoming the first person to reach a million followers back in 2008 - where he celebrated with champagne and Demi on a live streaming video - Ashton is now going to let his management filter his thoughts:
"Up until today I have posted virtually everyone of my tweets on my own, but clearly the platform has become to big to be managed by a single individual. While I will continue to express myself through @Aplusk I'm going to turn the management of the feed over to my team at Katalyst Media to ensure the quality of it's content."
Let's not forget, this is the guy who had a go at everyone for assuming that he and Demi were having marriage troubles he and Demi were having marriage troubles… pot, kettle…
