Recently Seth Rogen faced a lot of backlash from Twitter users. He had been on a “back and forth” with YouTuber Casey Neistat. When Casey complained that his car “got robbed” Rogen called it “living in a big city.”
The Knocked Up actor got a lot of critical comments from Twitter users. One asked him not to downplay crime in the city while another commented that breaking into a car was a not big deal for a celebrity but was a big deal for someone who was not rich.
Another Twitter user called him “whitest privilege dude.” He was also called an “insufferable twit” which was liked 1,700 times. He was also called “out of touch” “privileged” and was said to have a “bad take” on crime”
The Neighbors star replied to all the negativity on Wednesday by posting that a lot of people came at him on Twitter and talked s**T hoping that he would engage with them and give them attention. He said that he sent a DM to them privately told them to go “f**k themselves” as that was a lot more fun.

The entire incident began when YouTuber Casey Neistat posted that someone had broken into his car and had robbed materials that were there for his daughter’s seventh birthday party. He called Los Angeles a “crime riddled 3rd world s**thole of a city.”
Seth Rogen replied to the tweet saying that he had lived in the city for two decades and that it was “lovely” in the city. He advised him not to leave anything valuable and said that it was “called living in a big city.”
The 40-year old YouTuber with 2 million followers who is reportedly worth $16 million, asked if he could still be mad.” Earlier, he said he had felt “so violated.”
The 39-year old comedian said that he could be mad but he didn’t see a car as an extension of himself and that he had never felt violated any of the 15 times that his car had been broken into. He also mentioned that “a guy accidentally left a cool knife” and that the YouTuber “might get a little treat in future.”
Neistat said that he “didn’t get any treats.” He also questioned Rogen on how his car was broken into 15 times.
Seth Rogen replied that he lived in West Hollywood for 20 years and that he had “parked on the street.”
