Popstar Pink has gone on a “little tantrum” and doubled down on a lie she spread through a tweet even after being fact checked, says Sky News host Rita Panahi.

The singer took to X to tweet about an alleged banning of various books in Florida.

“It was of course a lie, there was a lie that was circulated widely, thanks to that tweet from Pink,” Ms Panahi said.

“But that didn’t stop Community Notes from fact-checking her.

“But guess what happened? Instead of apologising, instead of just, I don’t know, deleting the false tweet, she doubled down with this little tantrum about the MAGA cult getting all mad."
