Blake Lively almost managed to make it through the entirety of the never-ceasing Cannes Film Festival without offending people on Instagram. Almost.

Last night, she posted a side-by-side photo of the front and back of the Atelier Versace gown she wore to the Café Society premiere. The caption? "L.A. face with an Oakland booty."

While clearly a reference to the lyrics to the song "Baby Got Back," her followers had other things to say. "Unbelievably problematic," wrote one, "using women of color's bodies as a joke. I guess you just want people to know you're racist and you don't give a shit."

Another said, "No ma'am! Take the booty pads off. Look white gurls you already the standard of beauty let us black chicks have something." One commenter also brought up her wedding, writing, "As if getting married on a slave plantation wasn't reason enough to hate her." (Blake Lively married Ryan Reynolds at a South Carolina plantation in 2012.)

As of now, the post is still live.
