Sarah Michelle Gellar Stirs Up Controversy Over Instagram Caption, Clarifies She Wasn't 'Fat Shaming'

Sarah Michelle Gellar caused some controversy this week by posting some sexy lingerie photos on her Instagram account with the caption, “I’m just going to pin these up all over my house as a reminder not to overeat on Thursday #thanksgivingprep.”

Many were offended by the caption with comments pouring in such as: “Is that where you place your value? On the size of your thighs? Or your protruding hip bones? Nothing positive comes from this post,” and “Buffy, please don’t promote diet culture. Not the kind of message we should be sending”

SMG decided to clarify what she meant and posted, according to People, “It’s come to my attention that some people think I was ‘fat shaming’ with this post. 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.”

She continued, “I’m terribly sorry that people were offended by my attempt at humor. Any one that knows me, knows I would never intentionally ‘shame’ any one on any basis. I am a champion of all people.”
