News of the sentencing of three Al-Jazeera journalists in Egypt was quickly overshadowed by a blunder made by Associated Press on its Twitter account, when referring to famed international human rights lawyer Amal Clooney as "actor's wife."

The tweet has come under fire by many, accusing the news agency of sexism.

Many were quick to fix AP's mistake

Others demanded an apology from the agency for its sexist comment

But some acknowledged that AP's mistake wasn't intentional

Was the issue just overblown on Twitter, or should AP apologize for reducing Amal Clooney to her famous husband?
