   SMG Apologizes for Photos

   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.]
