On this Thanksgiving holiday, Sarah Michelle Gellar learns that her many social media are not necessarily grateful.

Gellar posted a series of revealing photos on her Instagram account Monday, showing her dressed in black lingerie, accompanied by the caption: "I'm going to pin them everywhere in my house to remind me not to overeat Thursday."

The message drew some celebrity admirers, with Debra Messing commenting, "Are you KIDDING ME ??!" And Tiffani Thiessen, writing, "Is it strange that I find these photos of you at home too?"

In addition to the praise of Gellar's Hollywood friends, many commentators have blamed the actress for promoting poor eating habits.

"Live your life, girl! Eat delicious food! Do not worry about tomorrow!" an Instagram user wrote, while others took on a more combative tone.

"Really shocked that a woman in a position of influence and a mother publish this (expletive)," read another comment. "Is this where you place your value on the size of your thighs or your bones "Nothing positive comes from this post." Only narcissism and the theory (expletive) that women must be skinny to be acceptable You must delete this post.I can not follow immediately.

"I think she's awesome and visibly pretty, but the legend was rather sad and disappointing, but that's just my opinion and I'm sure it was a joke," read another comment.

Some commentators also stood up for Gellar, defending his position.

"There will always be people who will criticize and politicize everything because they have to do everything about it," reads a commentary. "Ignore them, most women have the same concerns during the holidays, and while our reminder photos are not so impressive, we still use them."

"Nothing wrong with not wanting to eat too much for Thanksgiving," said another speaker. "I feel you're hiding it all in a message she was supposed to share because she felt beautiful that day, it's a regression and she looks amazing."
