Dear favorite pair of sweatpants. I was just kidding when I said you're the #1 cause of divorce. Everyone knows that orange crocs are the #1 cause of divorce. Either way it was a bad joke and feel terrible if you or anyone thought I was serious. Thanks for understanding sweatpants. Sorry orange crocs.

Yesterday, Eva Mendes caused a major kerfuffle when she “joked” (not really) during an interview and said “You can’t do sweatpants… ladies, number one cause of divorce in America, sweatpants, no!” Some people were like “What?” And some people were like “Sweatpants cause divorce, says never-married woman.” And some people were like, “Lay off the sweatpants, you turban-loving freak!” Well, Eva heard that her comments caused a controversy, so she posted the above Instagram. In case you can’t see the message, it reads:

Let’s give her some credit for handling it with some humor, shall we? And yes, orange crocs are a much better target!

But you know what’s really surprising? Ryan Gosling even commented on it on his Twitter too.

Obviously sweatpants thing was a joke. Wearing them now. That's right, tweeting in sweatpants. Rats! Said too much! You win again Twitter.

Ha, I feel like the Sweatpants Lobby got to them. Big Sweatpants issued their fatwa and within 24 hours, Eva had to retract her statement AND get her baby-daddy to retract too. The Illuminati Sweatpants Conspiracy is upon us.
