Users made it clear in their responses that it was not right for Midler to use the word, or make any such comparison. One of the most notable rebukes came from Jemele Hill, a reporter for the Atlantic who recently left ESPN: “Full stop.”

She got shite on for it, so now she throws Yoko under the bus?

I never thought anyone would ever be able to generate sympathy for Yoko, but she may have done it.

None of that happens in the United States, Bette. Perhaps you should direct your arrows towards Islam.

Bette is apparently a closet Islamaphobe.

She’s saying this because a woman lied to try to torpedo a scotus process and her story was rightfully rejected?

I know a shite load of white women and they’ve always been allowed to eat in the same restaurants as me. Maybe that’s how they treat women in Hollywood.

You literally can’t keep up with the various bigotries Of Progressivism. They roll it out faster than you can keep up.

When will these people learn. Trump is literally the only person in the world who has not gotten bitten in the arse hard using Twitter?

He's a one off. Everyone else, Twitter is the devil you dumb shits, stay off of it.

How many millions is this "n-word" worth? seems like being an "n-word" worked well for her.

She tries to palm it off on Yoko Ono but Yoko was an idiot for saying it too.

Also. Bringing up female treatment in "the world" when talking obliquely about American politics is just fricking asinine.

Good ole identify politics.

Who's the biggest victim game. Bette Midler needs to go back to the drawing board. She is getting smoked!!!

Being filthy rich is such a drag when you’re trying to get progressive street cred. You know the rich ones get jealous sometimes.

Bette Midler is just angry that other than Bill Clinton no one wants to touch her boobs any more.

When will people learn that a word that is so offensive that members of one group routinely use it to describe members of their own group in speech as well as in song and in writing shouldn't be used ?

Quoting Yoko Ono does not lend much to one's credibility.
