The Internet has spoken, and it has spoken loudly.

Following extreme backlash over an Instagram photo of a woman whose booty seemed to be peeking out of her shorts that Michael Bublé posted, the 39-year-old Canadian singer has apologized for his actions.

Insisting that he didn't mean any harm by sharing the photo his wife, Luisana Lopilato, took, the "Haven't Met You Yet" singer tells E! News in a statement, "Anybody who knows me would never misinterpret the message of the photo my wife took in Miami that seems to have caused unexpected rage by some people. I do not court controversy."

The statement continues, "But I realize that a photo that was meant to be complimentary and lighthearted has turned into a questionable issue. For the record, it hurts me deeply that anyone would think that I would disrespect women or be insulting to any human being. I was not brought up that way and it is not in my character."

2. this pic has everyones panties in a bunch? I don't see why

3. It's not the pic causing the furor.

It's his hashtags.

4. It is an instagram. They have hashtags, I thought that was twitter?

why does the subject say the controversy is over the photo. It doesn't mention hash tags.

Course I only read what was posted.

7. I clicked through.

Nestled in the blurb is this: "There was something about this photo lu took ,that seemed worthy of instagram. #myhumps #babygotback #hungryshorts #onlyinmiami #picoftheday #beautifulbum," he captioned the picture.

11. We have become such a soft society

and all this PC BS is responsible for it.

There is nothing wrong with that picture or caption.

13. Possibly the woman doesn't want her photo floating around the internet.

Seems reasonable enough.

[bigwillq]

14. Her face is not being shown.

And, in this day in age, we must be aware that we are probably all being filmed and it just may end up on the interwebs.

15. But a celebrity brings alot more attention.

Hence his apology.

5. If these women didnt want to be gawked at then maybe they shouldnt go out dressed like that

^^^ Something like this should do to prevent Michael Buble and the thousands of other male sickos out there who like going around and photographing women's feet, buttocks and sticking cameras up their skirts then sharing it all over the net.

9. are you stating that if a woman does not dress in a burka, she deserves whatever she gets?

8. if he started calling women B=====s and h=s he could get number one albums and songs lol nt

10. Anybody outraged over this has clearly never been to Miami

I work at a university and regularly see female students wearing something like that, or less...

[Dont call me Shirley]

12. It's crude that his wife even took the pic, but even cruder that he would post it online.

Both are dopes.

16. I think it disrespects the person in the picture.

We shouldn't make people the point of our jokes like that.
