      From: daviderl31@yahoo.com              https://popculture.com/celebrity/2018/11/21/buffy-the-vampire-sl       yer-star-sarah-michelle-gellar-apologizes-controversial-thanksgiving-photo/                     Sarah Michelle Gellar shared a public apology for posting a joke about       overeating on Thanksgiving on her Instagram.              The actress shared a series of photos of herself in lingerie on Sunday.       Along with the photos, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum wrote the       now-infamous caption: "I'm just going to pin these up all over my house as a       reminder not to overeat on Thursday #thanksgivingprep."              The joke did not sit well with her followers, who filled the comments       section of the post with backlash.              "It's come to my attention that some people think I was 'fat shaming' with       this post," she wrote on Tuesday. "That could not be further from my       intentions. I love Thanksgiving and unfortunately my eyes are often bigger       than my stomach, and I tend to eat so much I make myself sick. This was a       joking reminder to myself not to do that."              "I'm terribly sorry that people were offended by my attempt at humor," she       added. "Anyone that knows me, knows I would never intentionally 'shame'       anyone on any basis. I am a champion of all people."              Several celebrities noticed Gellar's photo and commented positive feedback       to the star, noting the controversy had gone slightly out of hand.              "Good lord, I saw this post when [Jennifer Garner] liked it a few days ago       and it made me laugh," a fan wrote. "I'm a fat 34-year-old mom of 7 and not       for a second did I think this rude or shaming or anti anything. I believe       she's just implying we all tend to gain weight through the holidays and to       stay focused. Love you Girl!"               [So sad that so many people are so unhappy with their lives that       they have to find a celebrity to pick on and make fun of just to make       themselves feel better.]              David              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
