Fans are now urging the maker of the popular ‘blasphemous’ bikini to shut down its entire website after spotting a range of Christian-themed clothing items being sold on its site.
Addison Rae has sparked a wave of backlash after posting a photo of herself in an item of clothing that fans deemed “disrespectful” and “blasphemous”.
Addison, 21, shared a picture of herself posing in clothing brand Praying’s Holy Trinity bikini on Tuesday.
The bikini in question, currently available on Praying’s website, retails for $100. The top has the words ‘Father’ on one side and ‘Son’ on the other, while the bottom reads ‘Holy Spirit’.
And while Addison’s photo only captured her top half, several Instagram users were quick to label the garment as “disrespectful” and “a mess” in the comments to Page Six.
“No, that is disrespectful to Jesus. Sad what you guys do for money,” one person wrote. “This is not okay! BLASPHEMY!” added another.
A third user wrote, “Won’t nobody talk about this disrespect for religions,” while a fourth agreed, “So messed up.”
Meanwhile, fans on Twitter expressed similar sentiments. “I wonder what Christians think of Addison Rae’s post. “Holy Spirit” is written on the underwear. isn’t that blasphemy?” one interviewee, plus several users I Agree.
I wonder what Christians think of Addison Rae’s post. “Holy Spirit” is written on the underwear. isn’t that blasphemy?
Addison didn’t publicly address the backlash, though she quickly deleted the photo from her Instagram page.
As for the brand itself, Praying’s Instagram page has since been inundated with comments calling for the page to be shut down entirely over its “disrespectful” clothing items.
Praying shared a photo of Christina Aguilera posing in the French version of Addison’s bikini and wrote, “Gonna get dirty,” a nod to the singer’s famous 2002 hit.
But some people were unfazed by the picture, calling the bikini “classless.” “Please remove this and stop disrespecting my religion and my God. It’s another level of classlessness,” one person wrote.
“This is disrespectful and not iconic,” said another, while a third commented, “CLOSE THIS ACCOUNT.”
The brand’s latest image shows another of their clothing items, which read, “I’ll talk to God when I’m dead.” This article also drew a lot of criticism from Instagram users.
“This is so wrong,” one person wrote, while another called the brand “embarrassing.”
Back in April, the brand shared a photo of Olivia Rodrigo wearing one of her shirts that read “happy and healthy.” The singer also flaunted Praying’s viral ‘Twilight’ satchel.
“Why can’t we just respect religions,” asked one, and several others urged the company to respect all religions, including Christianity.
Aside from Addison, several young stars have publicly posed in products sold by Praying, including Olivia Rodrigo, Charli XCX and euphoria Chloe Cherry.
Praying also shared photos of Charli and Chloe flaunting the brand’s clothing.
Praying has yet to address any backlash, but many on social media seem more uncomfortable than ever with their Christianity-themed designs.
