Michael J. Fox ‘Fun Fact’ Upsets 2014 Golden Globe Red Carpet Viewers

During the red carpet coverage, E! displayed a 'fun fact' recalling the year in which the actor was diagnosed with the degenerative disorder. Viewers angrily took to Twitter to post screenshots of the text and to scold the network.
