Mor may have her own career, but she quickly got dragged into her husband’s world when Ben mentioned her in a rather gnarly tweet that almost instantly went viral. Ben took to social media to share his views about WAP, the NSFW hip-hop hit released by Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B.

Though he first said that he thought the song was degrading to women, Ben later seemed to accuse the successful performers of having medical issues or even an STD, saying, “My only real concern is that the women involved – who apparently require a ‘bucket and mop’ – get the medical care they require. My doctor wife’s differential diagnosis: bacterial vaginosis, yeast infection, or trichomonis.” [sic]

Mor has yet to comment on the matter, but thanks to her husband’s actions, she was subjected to quite a bit of hate by Twitter users who found Ben’s comments distasteful.
