Singer Robin Thicke's relentless campaign to woo his estranged wife Paula Patton backfired after Twitterati rose to her defence and critics questioned the Blurred Lines crooner's treatment of women.
As a part of a drive to promote Thicke's latest album Paula, VH1 asked Twitter users to submit questions using the hashtag #AskThicke, which was seized by critics as an opportunity to take digs at the singer.
Here are some of the tweets slamming Thicke for being a misognist and for being unfaithful to his wife.

I'd like to #AskThicke why he thinks it's cool to publicly humiliate and pressure an ex-partner, but somehow I doubt they'll ask that one.

How does it feel to know that you will be used as a case study to examine cultural examples of rape culture for years to come? #AskThicke

#askthicke Now that you've made it commercially viable to be a creepingly insidious, misogynistic sexual predator; What's next for you?
