The Author Of "50 Shades Of Grey" Hosted A Twitter Q&A And It Was An Absolute Train Wreck

EL James, author of the deeply controversial, globally reviled, "50 Shades of Grey" agreed to conduct a Twitter Q&A about the book, to promote her new novel "Grey" - which is likely equally as loathsome, if not more so.

Let's just say things didn't go as planned. And it was spectacular.

Right out of the gate, things got real...

VERY real.

Of course, James didn't answer any of them - because how could she? Being honest and showing a modicum of conviction for negatively influencing young girls on a massive scale would be bad for her new book. But that didn't stop people from hijacking her Q&A and bombarding her with more questions.

People were not about to go easy on her.

Quite the opposite. They absolutely tore her apart.

About 5 minutes in, James was probably asking herself why in the hell she thought this whole thing would be a good idea.

But not all users wanted to rip her a new one. Some just wanted to poke fun at her...

While others just flat out mocked her "unique" writing style.

But the best question came near the end of it all:

Probably a bit like this, I imagine.

"They pry, I blush. They pry some more, I blush. They pry still, exposing my idiocy with the utmost clarity. I blush, ignoring it altogether because this is a shitstorm and I hate myself for agreeing to it."
