Haim Don’t Care About Your Mean Tweets

By Anne Cohen February 3, 2015

Jimmy Kimmel’s “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets” never gets old. If you’re not familiar with the concept, it’s simple: famous people sit down and read what the trolls of the Internet have to say about them. Out loud. The latest edition features musicians: Wiz Khalifa, Britney Spears, Blake Shelton, Lady Gaga, and our favorites, Jewish girl band Haim.

Este, Danielle and Alana Haim had what we deem the best reaction in “Mean Tweets” history.

Responding to @showmethesign’s, “Let’s face it, the girls from Haim are ugly as f—k and perform like they’re orgasming,” Alana quips: “I kind of like that.”

Suck it haters.

As an aside, Drake, also a member of the tribe, has an excellent sad face. Don’t worry, we don’t think that “Drake looks like Voldemort with hair.”

Speaking of those who hate, hate, hate, Haim will be touring with Taylor Swift on her 1989 World Tour. We can’t wait, wait, wait.

She graduated from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism with an M.S. magazine concentration in 2012.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.

In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.

At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.

Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.

Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
