Juan Pablo is once again the talk of town! This time, the ex-football player is being criticized for retweeting an offensive "retard" joke.

The tweet reads:

"Not every flower can save love, but a rose can. Not every plant survives thirst, but a cactus can. Not every retard can read, but look at you go, little buddy! Today you should take a moment and send an encouraging message to a f**ked up friend, just as I've done. I don't care if you lick windows, or interfere with farm animals. You hang in there cup cake, you're f**king special to me, you're my friend, look at you smiling at your phone! You crayon eating bastard you!"

According to Radar Online, the 32-year old has since deleted his retweet after being slammed online. It is reported that he also included "JAJAJAJAJA LOVED IT!" in the RT, seemingly expressing his amusement.

But not everyone was amused by the f**k, retard and bastard-laden tweet, nor were they amused by Juan Pablo's "jajajajaja." The New York-born immediately defended his RT, citing his bad English as the culprit.

"I'm BLESSED to speak SPANISH, an OK english and a LITTLE bit of portuguese... For those who DON'T I recommend to LEARN... #Culture, he first tweeted.

"Yeap, an OK english, my WRITING is HORRIBLE but some of you already UNDESTAND me with all my MISTAKES..." he says in another tweet.

The father of one also cited cultural differences, saying that "retard" is commonly used in Venezuela.

"In Venezuela the R word is USED commonly and by NO means is to OFFEND anyone... #Relax #DifferentCulture #Respect," he tweeted.

"Some people need to TRAVEL and get around the WORLD... The US is a GREAT country but there is a LOT out there... #openyourmind #learnculture," he added in another tweet.

It seems that The Bachelor star has only taken the RT lightly and was surprised at the backlash of netizens. He tells followers in another tweet, "People, try to be HAPPY and enjoy JOKES and SARCASM..."
