Seething Seal sees red
Ah the celebrity twitter rant, that impulsive brain snap that like the harshly worded email or text you wish you hadn’t sent, can’t be taken back. The latest celebrity to go into damage control after releasing a Twitter tirade was Seal who today apologised for letting off some steam online. No doubt his painted fingernails were blushing red.
“[He’s visited] homeless shelters, provide time and love for disabled kids, represent at the Logies and not to mention bring hope to aspiring artists... across the nation with his authenticity and heart,” he tweeted. “Yet having a joint in the privacy of his hotel room is worthy of front page news???”
Seal gave big props to Madden’s apparent good deeds for the community and lamented the fact a rock star can’t enjoy a spliff without it becoming front page news.

The “trash media”, that very forum he and his co-coaches use to promote themselves and the singing contest they front were recklessly cutting his hard done by and by no means privileged spinning-chair colleagues down.
"Way to respect a guest in your country trash media, way to make us feel welcome,” Seal tweeted. “Keep it up..sure we’ll be back next year…. and yes, I say we……because it’s just a matter of time before you gun us all down. Hell, you even [do] it [to] you’re own @DeltaGoodrem who’s a national treasure!!
"It’s a shame. I for one will not stand by and watch you attempt to destroy my Brother, you gun one you gun us all!”
Seal then took a swipe at The Star casino who he alleged orchestrated that Madden visit a cancer patient staying at the casino while police searched his room only to then evict him when the drugs were found.
“Shame on the Star…..you ask him to meet n greet a cancer victim in your hotel then send police to his room?? Nice…very classy..keep it up Judas. I’m done here………can’t wait to go home."

| Seal's apology for his Twitter rant |
There’s no trace of these comments on Seal’s official Twitter feed now, just a clarification and an apology for letting rip.
“It’s been almost 11 weeks away from my kids and me saying “I can’t wait to go home” was me missing being home with them.”
“I want to say I have loved being in Australia, I’ve loved working on The Voice and with an incredibly talented group of Australian artists.”
“I want to apologise for my rant earlier. Joel is one of my best friends and I was really hurting for him.”
Perhaps Seal could learn something from Madden’s own graceful response to the ruckus he himself started.
“Sydney is my adopted home and I appreciate the way the NSW police handled the situation,” Madden said in a statement. “They have informed me there will be no charges. I hope this didn't cause too much drama for everyone."
