Twitter controversies aren't real controversies. A famous person using a clumsy or politically incorrect choice of words to express themselves is bad, but it's not say, foreign interference in elections. Nevertheless, our media like to focus on Social Media controversies for a number of reasons: the people at the centre of them are often well-known, the backlash is normally quite severe from other twitter users, and if there's enough outrage, the person at the centre of it will be forced to apologise, or could even lose their job. It's all very dependent on the situation, and often never really particularly interesting.
