Robin Thicke has been hard at work asking Paula Patton for forgiveness and selling his album named after his estranged wife.

To promote his album, which was released today, Thicke answered Twitter questions from fans using #AskThicke. One user sincerely wanted to know how he felt about the controversy surrounding his hit song "Blurred Lines."

The singer decided to answer by joking about it.

Users responded by being very upset with him.

The rest of the question-and-answer session did not get better. Many took the opportunity to send negative comments his way.

Here's a small sampling of them:

His album lyrics for his album, "Paula," are another thing people are finding questionable.

In his song "Black Tar Cloud," he sings: "You were lying in bed (truth) / Said you took twenty pills (truth) / Now I'm calling the ambulance, police, I'm freakin' out till you said / Chill baby, I didn't really take them pills / I'm just desperately crying for help."

Thicke may say that the album is just art, but he did tweet promoting the album, noting that it was his side of the story.

Although some have backed up Thicke and said they can see how much he loves Paula Patton, others have said that trying to get his wife back in such a public way is manipulative. Some think she will be forced to take him back, and, of course, others are upset that he is sharing private details of her life.

Where do you stand on the Robin Thicke controversy?
