'The Voice' Judge Cee Lo Green Under Fire for 'Homophobic' Tweet, Says 'I'm No Bigot'

Toward the beginning of the first season of "The Voice," just a few short weeks ago, music mentor and judge Blake Shelton got in some hot water about a tweet that he sent out that was construed as homophobic. It turned out to be a misunderstanding (and Blake thought it was ridiculous, calling those accusing him of being a bigot "dumb asses").

Now a second judge from "The Voice" is in the same predicament! Cee Lo Green sent a tweet earlier to Andrea Swensson, a music critic who dissed his performance with Rihanna in Minneapolis: "@gimme_noise I respect your criticism but be fair! People enjoyed last night! I’m guessing ur gay? and my masculinity offended u? well f--k U!"

Honestly, it is a pretty strange tweet, and could easily be construed as homophobic. But Cee Lo might be protected by the fact that he often acts like he's from another planet, and that this tweet doesn't make a lot of sense either.

In any case, Green defended himself quickly, apologizing to the gay community and backing himself up thusly: Nakia and Vicki ‘Team Cee Lo’ are proudly gay and are [my] greatest assets!” said Green about his two remaining contestants on "The Voice." “I'm no bigot or homophobic. All a very big misunderstanding."

It seems like people are pretty quick to jump on the "Voice" judges for their tweets, but I guess this is what happens when you have a show that encourages its stars to use social media. They're bound to be unfiltered and say some things that will get them in trouble.

What do you think of Cee Lo's tweet? Was it out of line?
