New Hulu Series "Jokes" About R. Kelly Urinating on Blue Ivy

Amy Poehler's new Hulu series "Difficult People" makes an awful and offensive joke about Beyoncé's three-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy.

Julie Klausner, who plays Julie Kessler in the series says, "I can't wait for Blue Ivy to be old enough for R. Kelly to piss on her," describing a tweet that the fictional character received criticism online for.

Now, the joke is receiving much deserved criticism off screen. Multiple twitter users reacted to the "joke."

This is not a joke. It's violence made at the expense of a little black girl who can't even protect herself. Leave Blue Ivy alone.

A joke about R. Kelly assaulting Blue Ivy is not a joke targeting him. It's making light of what he did and punching down at his victims

I know this is a hard concept, but Blue Ivy is a child. She's not here to be fodder for your point about well...anything.

With all the money, fame, & privilege they have, Beyoncé & Jay Z can't protect their precious child in a world that hates little Black girls

Amy Poelher thinks its funny to produce a show speculating the molestation and rape of a minor how sick! As a mother you should be ashamed!

"I can't wait until Blue Ivy is old enough for R. Kelly to piss on her." You and your new show are both disgusting @smrtgrls @amypoehler

Amy Poehler who is the co-founder of Amy Poehler's Smart Girls, an online community that seeks to empower young women, was very involved in every aspect of the show. Klausner recently told Entertainment Weekly, "Amy could not have been more hands-on. She did not only give notes on every script, she gave notes on every draft of every outline. She weighed in on casting videos, cast roles. She weighed in on production matters. She came up with the title. She would give notes on every single edit, not only of the shows but of the promos, the trailers. She would be involved in every stage of the process in a way that she would go above and beyond."
