Mia Farrow was accused of crossing the line on Wednesday when she posted an ill-advised message to Twitter containing the business address of the dentist who killed the beloved lion Cecil in Zimbabwe.

The outspoken 70-year-old screen legend was apparently so incensed by Dr. Palmer's decision to shoot and kill the lion on a $50,000 hunt that she decided to let her 656,000 followers know where Dr. Palmer and his staff work.

Initially, some thought the actress had listed Walter Palmer's home address in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and called for her verified Twitter account to be suspended under the site's terms of service.

Bad decision: Mia Farrow posted this tweet on Wednesday. The address of Dr. Walter Palmer's dental practice has been blurred

Replacement: The screen legend hastily decided to change her tweet. Instead of the address she posted a picture of Dr. Palmer's business

Fury: Like millions worldwide, Mia Farrow was angered by the decision of Dr. Palmer to travel to Africa and hunt and kill a lion

'CecilTheLion -Gentle protector of 6 cubs. Loved by many. Killed by Dentist Walter Palmer,' Farrow tweeted Wednesday, followed by Palmer's address.

Farrow quickly had second thoughts and deleted the address and amended the tweet to show a picture instead of his dental practice in Bloomington, Minneapolis.

A Twitter spokesman said the company does not comment on individual accounts for privacy and security reasons.

He directed The Associated Press to official Twitter rules and policies that allow wiggle room on disciplinary action when information was previously posted or displayed elsewhere on the Internet prior to being put on Twitter.

The Farrow account deleted the original missive amid the outrage questioning whether the intent was to ensure Palmer is physically tracked down by haters.

But the deletion did little to calm Twitter nerves.

One tweeter clucked back at Farrow, 'Maybe Donald Trump should give out your phone number,' referring to Trump doing just that for a GOP rival, Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Another tweeted: 'I hate what he did, but giving out his address isn't the way to go.'

Farrow's manager did not immediately return an email Wednesday seeking comment
