Listen, folks, it’s that time of year again—when a celebrity says or does something that gets everyone talking. This time, it's none other than Sarah Michelle Gellar, and boy, did she stir up a storm with her latest Instagram post. If you’re thinking, "Wait, isn’t that Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer?," then you’re absolutely right. And she’s definitely not holding back this holiday season.
Sarah Shares a Throwback Photo—and a Controversial Caption
The 41-year-old actress, who's also known for playing Daphne in the live-action Scooby-Doo movies, decided to take a trip down memory lane and posted a photo from a 2007 photoshoot. Now, here’s the thing: in the photo, she’s wearing black lingerie. But let’s be honest, it wasn’t the outfit that got people talking—it was the caption she chose to pair with it.
Sarah wrote, “I’m just going to pin these up all over my house as a reminder not to overeat on Thursday #thanksgivingprep.” Sounds like a lighthearted comment, right? Well, not everyone saw it that way. The internet, as it often does, had some strong opinions about what Sarah had to say.

Why Are People So Upset?
Let’s break it down. Some people thought Sarah’s caption could be triggering for those struggling with eating disorders or body image issues. One Instagram user commented, “It’s important to think of young women and girls when you post things like this. How many do you think will throw up their supper after eating their Thanksgiving meal because they overate and worry about gaining weight? Let’s not encourage unhealthy attitudes and anxiety toward food.”
Another user chimed in, saying, “Please consider rewording this. There’s nothing wrong with eating or being something other than skinny. And this post is a great way to trigger people’s eating disorders.” Oof. That’s heavy stuff, right?

But Not Everyone Agreed
Of course, for every person who was upset, there was someone else defending Sarah. One user wrote, “Don’t worry about the overly sensitive watchers. Our world has become super sensitive on certain topics. Just ignore them. They’re unhappy people. Eat what you want, post what you want—we live in a free and democratic world.”

Another commenter added, “Nothing wrong with not wanting to break a diet. Nothing wrong with wanting to stay the same weight.” Fair points, right?
Sarah Opens Up About Her Own Struggles
Sarah hasn’t exactly been shy about discussing her own battles with body image. In the past, she told Health magazine, “I totally have body dysmorphic disorder. I think most women do. I just have to remember that I’m human, and I’m a mom.” It’s clear she’s been through her own ups and downs, and this post was just another example of her honesty.
Sarah Responds to the Backlash
After seeing the backlash, Sarah took to the comments section to apologize. She wrote, “It’s come to my attention that some people think I was ‘fat shaming’ with this post. That 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 I make myself sick.”
She continued, “This was a joking reminder to myself not to do that. I’m terribly sorry that people were offended by my attempt at humor. Anyone who knows me knows I would never intentionally ‘shame’ anyone on any basis. I am a champion of all people.”
And there you have it. While it might not have been the best choice of words, Sarah’s apology seems sincere. Hopefully, this will calm the waters and let everyone get back to enjoying their Thanksgiving prep—whether that means indulging or staying mindful.
