He said he thought I was the rudest person he had ever met.”, of course, has become infamous for its uncut 10-minute male rape sequence in which Beatty, as pudgy businessman Bobby Trippe, is the victim.

☹️

What a disgusting tweet and an insult to a great actor.

This is a hilarious tweet don’t let the people bully you thr

Aikiwomannc Oh no 💔

Change this stupid headline. And don't pretend to be confused by the reaction to it.

Thank you for sharing this article, friends. Mr. NedBeatty is now sleeping in death, unconscious of time until the moment he is called forth to a resurrection. Peace be with his family and friends.

Absolute god-level garbage tweet.

Fuck this take. And fuck you . This legend deserves better.

Get fucked

I do hope whoever is the head of social at PenskeMedia sees this on Monday morning and a) deletes it and b) explains to the weekend person why they’re lucky they’re not fired.

Geez Louise. This is still up! Is it to drive 'engagement'? I'm def not clicking the link because of this trash!

Please. Reconsider this.

What is wrong with you?

So many great roles. RIP, Mr Beatty.

Cool headline. Go fuck yourselves

Disgusting headline. Delete it, apologize, and go to your room and think about what you did.

Superman introduced me to Mr. Beatty.

Rape’s hilarious. Just the thing to headline an death notice with.

'This corn is special idn't it' ?

WTF THR?

He was in Deliverance? The one with Burt Reynolds? I did not know that.

RIP.

Sweet Jesus, have some tact.

what a character, what an entertainer, he should have been in politics. what politician does he remind you of

RIPNedBeatty WEEEEE!!

Loved his character in Superman RIP NedBeatty

he understood the South and its genteel malevolence like no other actor

'Gay rape is still funny, right?' - the guy who wrote this terrible headline, presumably

RIPNedBeatty A wonderful actor.

First time I saw him was in 'Silver Streak,' being cooled off by Jill Clayburgh, then not too long after that in 'Network.' Incredible range. RIP.

His GREATEST SCENE EVER - Otisburgh

Eastern High School Legend!! C’ mon EHS pump him up…let’s Go!!!

🙏🏽 RIP

RIP Otisburg

Yet another legendary actor gone. Rest In Peace NedBeatty 🙏

Classy.

What am I missing … why is this offensive? It was his first role…

Delete this.

Kris_Sacrebleu I will neither like nor retweet this.

WajahatAli Huge loss.

Seriously y'all, this headline is fucking trash. Show the man some respect.

because of him nobody wanted to go camping

No!

He's squeeling with the pigs now 😭

Shame on you

RIP Ned Beatty. One only needs to watch his performances as a helpless victim in “Deliverance” and as a cutthroat executive in “Network” to witness his range. So DavidCRooney1, what were his best performances—& any that surprised you?

You have meddled in the primal forces of nature , and you will atone! Are we getting through to you?

RIP

If I could make one thing this good in my lifetime. RIP Mr. Beatty. FYI context: Network was satire when it was made, became a documentary, and is now ancient history. Do yourself a favor and watch it. Even predicts ‘s tasteless tweet.

Delete this, and fire the disgusting hack who wrote the headline/tweet.

He’s hangin with Burt now.

Bad form

One of the bravest most talented actors ever.

You may want to apologize for that headline and consider changing it.

I have some questions about your editorial decision making process.

You have meddled with the primal forces of nature Little Tweet, and you shall atone!

Way tacky. Dude had an incredible career - including Deliverance, but what the fuck

This headline is garbage. Change it.

Awww man.

Do you have no editors? This is pathetic

Met him at celebrity day fall 1988 at MaClaren Children’s center. He was talking with Marlene Matlin(YES SHE CAN👂). I was a resident there. Very nice man. RIP. He killed it in the ONLY Superman that matters.

Do better, jackssses.

Ty Hollywood experts 🙏🏻

Change your headline, creeps

Delete this, fuckbrains.

SydneyMarie_13K RIP 😥💔🙏

Ned Beatty was one of the best RIP

I always remember him as the master of the universe capitalist who reads Howard Beale the riot act in Network.

Can someone please explain what's offensive about this? Everyone is saying this tweet is a rape joke but I don't get it? (gen)

that is a yikes headline. Network, Superman, lots of character work

Please reconsider your headline. Mr. Beatty was a great character actor. His character in the film Deliverance was raped. His was a brave performance in 1972, and it would be an equally brave performance in 2021. Rape is never a joke. You’re seriously wrong in your tone .

A great person and a great talent

Very Classy THR, use the film he despised the most. Why not mention Stroker Ace, Radioland Murders, Life or even Shooter?

Respect to the guy who’s most famous for getting it in the ass by hillbillies. RIP brother.

One of the greatest character actors of his generation. RIP, dear sir.

This is a disgraceful headline Hollywood Reporter. This is not acceptable. Change it.

No. No acceptable news organization would put this rape joke as their headline. Delete this NOW.

What the hell? Who thought this was funny?

Wow what a stupid, flippant and immature way to announce a death

RIP!

Condolences to his family.

WajahatAli Holy shit I was just thinking about him. RIP Ned Beatty.

One of the best you flippant goon

This is so gross

That’s what you relegate him to?

I just started watching homicide. RIP Bolander.

Ronilj261 Aww man. Another good one goe down for the country. R.I.P. Ned.

Fuck you for this headline.

Oh good. I can now un-follow you. Fuck you. Seriously. FUCK YOU

Ned Beatty was a brilliant actor known for much more than your paltry attempt at cheap humor.

This ain't it, chief.
