Michael Bublé’s four Grammy Awards couldn’t stop him from striking a sour chord with his Instagram followers this week.
The Canadian-born singer is under fire for a photo he shared Monday in which he’s seen standing in front of a woman wearing tight, black shorts over her buttocks.
His wife, Lu, captured the moment.
“There was something about this photo lu took ,that seemed worthy of instagram,” he said.
Bublé added the hashtags “#myhumps,” “#babygotback,” and “#hungryshorts” to the caption.
Cue the verbal attacks on social media; many began to accuse him of humiliating and shaming the unidentified woman.
@laurendorphin @michaelbuble yep. let's humiliate a stranger. Stay Classy, Buble.
