Celebrities across the globe are lending their support to the #BlackLivesMatter movement following the deaths of two African American men at the hands of police this week.
Actress Mischa Barton, of early-2000s fame (remember The OC?) was one of those stars.
On Friday, Barton posted a tribute to the victims of those extrajudicial shootings on Instagram, calling for stricter gun control laws in the US.
Her sentiment was right on, sure. But the image she chose to accompany her words? Notsomuch.
The 30-year-old actor chose to post as her tribute an image of herself…. in a string bikini. Holding a wine glass. Oh, and posing on a yacht.
The actress is currently on holiday in Europe, so it seems the picture may have been a holiday snap. #MischaWhy #ReadTheRoom #GetASocialMediaAdvisor
I don’t think Mischa Barton could have picked a worse photo to showcase her solidarity. pic.twitter.com/vHkeGKuUtQ

Not as bad as Beyonce doing a 360. sheeezzzz I mean why can't a powerful celeb say there are bad cops doing bad shit. why do they have defend all cops. Haven't heard Oprah ever talk about this. Left to the common person in the street white and black to solve this. The power people keep this inhumanity going. Imagine if black cops went around shooting white citizens
Then people would probably call out the black cops...
So the poor girl has to what?! grovel on the ground to post a tribute......She seems to be genuinely sympathetic.
