And now Tom Cruise's son Connor has crawled out the woodwork to slam the former Olympian after she received the AA Award for courage.
The 20-year-old launched into a Twitter rant against the transgender star by claiming her win had to be a prank.
Connor tweeted: "Really?? Winning the AA award for courage?? Ashton is gonna come out and yell PUNK'D."
Connor was hit by a torrent of abuse forcing him to clarify his position.
He said: "Don't get me wrong. Do what you feel like doing and don't let anyone stop you."
"But everyone is taking this way too seriously.
"There are so many more important things that should be talked about…And SO MANY MORE IMPORTANT PEOPLE that actually deserve an award."
The offensive tweets were later deleted but were seen by E! News.
In what could be the longest Twitter rant of the year, Connor let rip about everything from climate change to world poverty.
He said: "I'm totally supportive of people staying true to themselves and finding true happiness in whatever way they can.
"There are just way more things that we as a nation and as a planet should be talking about and working on.
"Like the fact that we are overfishing and in 30 years there will be no more fish.
"Seems dumb but 85 percent of the world's protein is fish. That's one of thousands of things that should be of a higher importance than what is currently being gone over.
"Or what about the fact that our planet is becoming less habitable on a daily basis.
"Yet the population is increasing at an alarming rate…Or the fact that we all can't even get a long on earth.
"We fight and kill each other. We have war and poverty. This needs to change.
"Totally twisting what I said, if you read what I said I totally support being happy and am glad she is happy.
"We just need to as a nation and a world get back to business and making everything a better place."
"Way more about the problems the world needs to solve than about her guys."
Phew, we think we need a sit down after reading all that.
