Fans are calling for the cancellation of Amy Poehler's new Hulu series Difficult People after an offensive joke was made about Beyoncé's 3-year-old daughter.
"I can't wait for Blue Ivy to be 18-year-old so R Kelly can piss on her," is the joke currently under fire. Julie Klausner, who plays Julie Kessler in the series, made the joke and received subtle criticism from her co-star and an anonymous online troll who suggested that she should kill herself.
Blue Ivy is the 3-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and her husband Jay Z.
In 2002, R Kelly was accused of having sex with and urinating on an underage girl, but was found not guilty in 2008.
