It’s getting dangerous out there for anyone with a differing opinion than a Twi-freak.  Case in point, Emma Roberts.

Em was on The Tonight Showand got asked by Jay if she was Team Edward or Team Jacob.  (Robert Pattinson had been his first guest and he was hanging around for the second interview).  Em announced she was Team Jacob, the audience cheered, and Sparkles (Pattinson) jokingly said that she just proved she had no taste.  

Heh.

If that was the end of it, it would have been a cute story.  Except…

Well, except that the Twi-freaks take themselves and their stars uber- seriously, which is why poor Emma Roberts got a deluge of hate mail via Twitter.  She tried to make amends Tweeting “Rob Pattinson is so nice! I was slightly disappointed his skin wasn’t glittering & the song ‘Wild Thing’ didn’t start when he shook my hand”.

Unfortunately for Emma, it was too little, too late.  How bad did it get?  The Twifreaks ran the 19 year old right off of the system, forcing her to close down her Twitter account rather than face their wrath.

Emma Roberts is probably a bit of an easy target for this sort of thing (thick skinned she’s not), but you know things are getting a little out of hand when someone can’t even publicly acknowledge which fictional character of a franchise they prefer.

Haters to the left.
