LOL.
Local Miami news station WSVN 7 is under fire for referring to actress Gabrielle Union as NBA star Dwyane Wade’s wife in this tweet and headline from Monday:
.@DwyaneWade, wife donates $200,000 to student-ran gun control rally https://t.co/QbVLh5kUXi pic.twitter.com/s6XULzRrQW

Mrs. Dwyane Wade responded with, “When they let you know what they think of you. I have a name”:
When they let you know what they think of you. I have a name. https://t.co/EONnNVxCNV

WSVN later apologized and said they talked to the writer about it:
You're right. We have apologized, and will have a word with our writer.

The headline was changed as well:
We cannot edit a tweet; however, her name is in the headline of our article and we have re-written a tweet that includes her name. We are not deleting the previous one, since we are owning up to our mistake.

Weird. This mob never got mad at WSVN when they referred to Donald Trump Jr.’s wife in this tweet and article:

She has a name, WSVN! APOLOGIZE!
