Addison Rae forced to delete pic of ‘blasphemous’ Holy Trinity-inspired $100 bikini after backlash

The top read ‘Father’ on one side and ‘Son’ on the other, while the bottom of the set says ‘Holy Spirit’

Dancer and actor Addison Rae is no stranger to controversies. The influencer has hit the headlines again after posing in a 'religious' bikini on Instagram. The post, which has since been deleted, showed her wearing a bikini top with the words "Father" and "Son" written on it. While the image only captured Addison’s top half, the bottom of the suit read "Holy Spirit." The controversial outfit was designed by a brand called Praying in collaboration with Adidas.

Page Six reported that the star's famous friends praised her look on the deleted post, including singer Tate McRae who wrote, “Oh my god addision.” However, within a few hours, things took a turn leading her to take down the post.

Over the weekend, singer Christina Aguilera posed on Instagram in the French version of the $100 two-piece with the words “Père,” “Fils,” and “Esprit Saint” (Father, son, and holy spirit) imprinted on it. The post was captioned “A religious experience.” However, the social media mogul's post didn’t gain as much criticism as Addison's.

"Influencers are a menace"

Addison's outfit invited backlash across social media platforms. One user tweeted, "Wait what is this???????? this is soo disrespectful @whoisaddison @adidas are you guys dense???? TAKE THIS DOWN!" Another noted, "Tiktoker, Addison Rae, advertising for Adidas in a "Holy Trinity Bikini.” All I'm going to say is—these people are going to learn the hard way not to play with GOD. Just wait and watch." One user commented, "Haw y'all seen how much people are hating on Addison Rae for wearing that praying bikini and how much they are hating on the brand? We better hide this pic."

"What a dumb f*cks are Adidas and addison rae. Influencers are a menace," someone chimed in. Another added, "To think I just shopped at the adidas outlet for back to school, and then seeing the disgusting adidas sponsored bathing suit worn by Addison Rae blaspheming Christianity. Enough! #canceladidas #addisonrae #adidas #cancelnike." Someone asked, "@whoisaddison why do you gotta disrespect Christianity like that? You don’t disrespect any other religion, just Christianity? And why do you have to create it, @adidas? Not that I was ever a fan of adidas (or Addison Rae for that matter) but I’ll never buy anything from adidas."
