People have been casually pointing out all the times Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams got the short end of the stick for ages now. But today the meme unexpectedly got a boost on Twitter with thousands of people getting #PoorMichelle trending. It's not clear who made the first post, but once the landslide started there was no stopping it as tweets about all the times Michelle got slighted poured in across the social media site. The hullaballoo even reached the eyes of the singer herself and Michelle Williams addressed the hashtag in a good-natured way tweeting, "#PoorMichelle that's not what my accountant said!" Her response to the trend only made it more popular, with hundreds of tweets continuing to flood the tag.
Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland may have bigger careers, but it seems Williams has a decent following, one ready to probe the web at a minute's notice and drag out examples of the singer not getting the respect she deserved. She may be the original third wheel, but we still love her. And hey, awareness to this tag may get her some attention and some more fans, and maybe even boost her career a little. (You never know!) So here are some of the funniest #PoorMichelle responses today.
