Michael Buble Accused Of "Body Shaming" With Anonymous Butt Pic

(via Facebook)

This is kinda crazy.

Pop star Michael Buble is catching heat because he posted this picture (taken by his wife) to his social media saying "There was something about this photo lu took ,that seemed worthy of instagram.
#myhumps #babygotback #hungryshorts #onlyinmiami #picoftheday #beautifulbum"

Folks quickly attacked Buble saying he was "body shaming" the woman, or objectifying her because the lower part of her lower part was partially visible.

Get a grip, kids.

First of all, the woman chose to wear the shorts in public. I gather, since she's an adult, that she knows how she's dressed. If she has no problem going out in public wearing shorts that show half her butt, then she must not have a problem with being seen.

Second, her face isn't visible so she's anonymous. There's no shaming happening here.

Third, it's a tame compliment. He writes #beautifulbum. He didn't call her ugly or fat or unattractive.

Fourth, go back to number two. No one can see her face! Can you be "shamed" if you don't know it happened and no one knows who you are?

I invite you to post your thoughts below. I'm curious if I'm really missing this or not.
