AnnaLynne McCord has shocked fans with a bizarre video addressing Vladimir Putin.
The 90210 actress has been scorned as tone-deaf for the strange video she posted to her Twitter account in which she apologises for not being Putin's mother, saying, "Dear President Vladimir Putin, I'm so sorry that I was not your mother,"
"If I was a mother, you would have been so loved, held in the arms of joyous light," the star stated.
"Never would this story's plight, the world unfurled before our eyes, a pure demise of nation sitting peaceful under the night sky. If I was your mother, the world would have been warm."

"If I was your mother, if the world was cold, I'd have died to make you warm … I'd have died to give you life," she continued, later saying she could not believe she was born too late to be Putin's mother.
"I know if I was your mother, that would be a start toward the awareness of what a powerful being of light you could be. I cannot believe I was born too late, in a different place."
Fans quickly replied to McCord's tweet, with some saying they understood she meant well while others began mocking her with parody videos of her statement.
