The internet is NOT impressed with Blake Lively’s latest Instagram post
When the golden girl who can do no wrong goes and does wrong, it makes headlines fairly lively as good o' Blake is finding out today.
The Gossip Girl star has landed herself in hot water after drawing a fairly unflattering comparison between different areas in California in a recent Instagram upload.
Taking to the site last night, the pregnant Hollywood heavy-hitter shared a snap of herself walking the red carpet at this year's Cannes Festival, and there have been some seriously mixed responses to her ill-advised reference to Sir Mix-A-Lot's track Baby Got Back.
Alongside a split-screen image which showed the actress from both the front and the back, 28-year-old Blake wrote: "L.A face with an Oakland booty."
Responding to the star's comment, one Instagram user wrote: "Unbelievably problematic, using women of colour's bodies as a joke. I guess you just want people to know you're racist and you don't give sh*t."
Similarly, another irate social media user tweeted: "I want to follow Blake Lively just to unfollow after this LA/Oakland business. So much privilege even GOOP feels uncomfortable."
On the other hand, Blake definitely had her supporters, with one fan of the actress writing: "Don't listen to the media n the haters @blakelively You are gorgeous and allowed to make a reference to a song…" (sic)
