Singer Michael Buble has been slammed for sharing a photograph of a woman's bottom without her consent.

The photograph, which was taken during Buble's vacation with wife Luisana Lopilato here, was posted on image-sharing website Instagram, reports aceshowbiz.com.

"There was something about this photo lu took, that seemed worthy of instagram. #myhumps #babygotback #hungryshorts #onlyinmiami #picoftheday #beautifulbum," Buble captioned the image.

Some people, however, didn't take his joke well. The Canadian singer has been called sexist and accused of body-shaming for sharing the picture of a stranger without her consent.

"@michaelbuble hiiiii this is shamey and not very nice," one Twitter user commented.

Another person agreed, tweeting: "@laurendorphin @michaelbuble yep. let's humiliate a stranger. Stay Classy, Buble."

Another person tweeted: "Super disappointed in @michaelbuble for posting a photo of a woman's bum without her consent (and of course a WoC too)," while one other commenter called Buble "disgusting".
