Looks like Robin Thicke will have to do much more to win back the love of estranged wife Paula Patton, and the general public appears to not be here for him, either. As if his relationship drama wasn’t enough, Thicke is facing first week sales of little more than 30,000 copies, over 70,000 less than his last album which featured hit single “Blurred Lines.”
Thicke was scheduled to do an #askThicke Twitter chat Monday afternoon for VH1 to promote his new album, appropriately titled “Paula.”

He then received a host of colorful responses, most notably:
This is a horrible idea. “@VH1: Have a burning question for @robinthicke? Submit your ?s using #AskThicke! pic.twitter.com/yAjD1JzA7E” — Juke Skywalker (@TheCoolTeacher_) June 30, 2014

What for @VH1? All his answers will be the same. Paula. — MC SideEye (@MzBeeezSoSassii) June 30, 2014
@VH1 @robinthicke From writing an obsessive stalker song to blurring lines of consent, why do you continue to be such a creep? #AskThicke

@VH1 @robinthicke does ‘no’ mean ‘no’ or is there a line that’s blurred?

Ouch! Let’s hope Robin can ultimately patch up his love life and his reputation. But what did he have to say in response to the negative tweets?
I’m a big boy. I can handle it. RT @IamEast Man people are brutal on this #AskThicke
