Even vampire killers excuse themselves from time to time!

On Sunday, Sarah Michelle Gellar shared a series of photos of her wearing sexy lingerie. She subtitled the post: "I'm just going to pin them all over the house to remind me not to overeat Thursday #thanksgivingprep."

In no time, she was bombarded by the comments of her fans who felt that the message was a form of ridicule, while the party focused on food is fast approaching.

"Sensational, really shocked that a woman in a position of influence and a mother publish one," wrote an indignant disciple, "Is this where you place your value on the size of your thighs? salient hips? Nothing positive comes from this post. Only narcissism and [the] theory that women must be skinny to be acceptable. You should delete this post. Do not follow me immediately.

After discovering the backlash, the 41-year-old actress added her own commentary, apologizing and explaining that the caption was meant as a joke.

"I drew my attention to the fact that some people think I would be ashamed of this post," she wrote on Tuesday. "It 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 that I get sick. It was a joke reminder to myself not to do that. "

"I am terribly sorry that people have been offended by my attempt at humor," she added. "Anyone who knows me knows that I would never intentionally" shame "anyone, I am a champion of all peoples."

However, a number of celebrities have come to Gellar's defense before and since his apology. "KAWEEN", Nicole "Snooki" wrote Polizzi. "@sarahmgellar is it strange to see these pictures of you at home too?"

"Are you making fun of me!?!" Wrote Will & GraceDebra Messing commented. And Shannen Doherty intervened with some burning emojis.

Similarly, some Gellar fans have also offered encouragement.

"God, I saw this post when @ jennifer.garner liked it a few days ago and it made me laugh," wrote a fan. "I'm a 34-year-old, 7-year-old mother, and it's not a second that I found it rude, shameful, or anti-anything. I think it simply implies that we all tend to gain weight during the holidays and stay focused. I love you, my daughter! "

"You are beautiful!" Writes another. "It's nice that you can be your own inspiration. I am mine Who knows your path to a healthier lifestyle better than you? Be proud of what you do yourself and do not let Nancy's negative side take you down. You have nothing to apologize for. "
