Well, then, here's the first half-truth. Milo may have roasted a celebrity who just made a bomb of a movie, but the complaints were largely about people responding to Milo who would also "@" the celebrity. So there really wasn't an issue that it was hard for this actor's staff to sort out questions from reporters, etc. She could have also simply blocked Milo. Problem gone!

You're not understanding the power dynamics at play.

The agency reps a lot of celebs who don't want to see insults in their blue check notifications.

Twitter wants those celebs to be active on Twitter and doesn't need Milo.
