Zach Braff stirs the pot on Twitter

Former Scrubs actor turned director and producer Zach Braff took flak from many on Twitter after singer, songwriter and fashion designer Pharrell took to the Grammy stage last Sunday.

In Braff's opinion, Pharrell's bellboy-like attire seemed eerily similar to that of Braff's animated alter ego of a flying monkey in Oz The Great and Powerful, which hit theatres in 2013.

While some of Braff's fans attempted to defend the actor's tweet, in the wake of Charlie Hebdo and increased scrutiny on free speech, the Twittersphere erupted over the glib comment, which was taken as both an intentional and unintentional racist remark.

Looking at Pharrell's performance garb, would you have commented any differently?
