The country singer has since deleted the bizarre tweets he posted five years ago
COUNTRY singer Blake Shelton has been slammed by fans over “racist” and “homophobic” tweets he posted five years ago.
The 40-year-old, who is dating Gwen Stefani, was also berated for revealing he’d had a “sick fantasy” about actress Dakota Fanning, who 16 at the time.
In the tweet, which he posted in November 2010, he wrote: “Sooo… I just figured out a great excuse for my sick fantasy about Dakota Fanning. I thought she was Amanda Seyfried…”
In another, posted four months later, he wrote: “Wish the d***head in the next room would either shut up or learn some English so I would at least know what he’s planning to bomb!!”
One wrote, “idk why yall surprised @ blake shelton being trash he's a white american country star they're pretty much all racist rednecks.”
And another agreed and said: “Absolutely zero people should be surprised that Blake Shelton, a country singer from Oklahoma, is racist and possible homophobic.
The Sun Online Showbiz has contacted Blake’s publicist for comment.
Blake has been dating Gwen Stefani since last November, four months after he and fellow country singer Miranda Lambert announced their divorce after four years of marriage.
