Many deemed the comment insensitive to those who have had to postpone or cancel their big day.
People posted a grab of one fan’s comment, which read: “Can you not caption this? There’s millions of people, aside from those that are losing loved ones and jobs, who are dealing with canceling and changing their weddings and the reality that they may never have the wedding they dreamed of. As a public figure this is extremely insensitive, and in a time like this you should try [to] be better. Thanks.”
Foster fired back, “No. It’s a wedding not a death everyone needs to relax.”
Another person insisted, “Gorgeous and hilarious! Please do NOT take this down!” to which Foster responded, “Trust me I’m not taking this down. Anyone who wants to blame me for corona or for their wedding being postponed is just very very confused about how pandemics work.”
As a different social media user pointed out, “Apparently you can joke about anything except weddings, chill out everyone,” Foster quipped: “It’s crazy. Should we start a charity for postponed weddings?”
