Michael Bublé Instagram Scandal: Singer Posts "Pervy" Photo of a Woman's Butt

Singer Michael Bublé is facing some backlash on social media on Friday after he posted a photo of a woman's behind to his Instagram.

The 39-year-old singer posted a shot of himself posing in front of an unidentified female wearing shorts, along with a pervy caption which poked fun at the woman's butt.

"There was something about this photo lu took ,that seemed worthy of instagram.#myhumps #babygotback #hungryshorts #onlyinmiami #picoftheday #beautifulbum," he captioned the picture, which was taken by his wife.

The couple is currently on vacation in Miami. While the photo has generated more than 37,000 likes, it's also sparked some criticism from followers who are accusing him of body shaming and disrespecting women.

"What's wrong with you?! I'm sure she's quite embarrassed over this! That's so rude!" a commenter posted.

"This photo is disrespectful. it is sexualizing a young woman ... As a mother I would be ashamed if he was my son and horrified if that was my daughter," another added.

"This is down right disgusting of you," added another. "What if she is under aged huh?"

"That's not very nice," wrote a different fan. "I would expect more from you and your wife ... Hate the thought of creepy couples taking sneaky photos of my daughter or niece and posting them on the internet."

Meanwhile, a large number of his fans came to the singer's defence.

"Jeez all the haters need to eat a snicker," wrote one fan. "I don't think what he said was an insult to this young lady at all."

"His real fans know his sense of humour," said another. "His true fans know the incredible family that he has and the strong women who are in his life. We know that it isn't in his nature to insult or shame anyone."

Bublé, who has a reputation for speaking his mind, has yet to respond publicly to the backlash over his post.
