Halloween actor Jamie Lee Curtis is facing immense backlash on social media for a deleted Instagram post.
The star had uploaded a photo of her office, which also featured a picture of a naked child inside what seemed to be either a garbage bin or suitcase. Netizens have since taken to Twitter to express their outrage over the strange artwork.
In the now-deleted Instagram post, Jamie Lee also mentioned Comet Pictures, a media production company she started in 2019.
“Ok. This is a weird post, but I have Covid, so f**k it. During one of the SAG nomination panels for @everythingeverywheremovie I told the story of how I ended up with my office furnished with my beautiful Pollack chairs from that movie."
The actor further wrote:
"I mentioned if people followed me, that was not a cheap trick to try to get people to boost my numbers, but I couldn’t figure out how else to get the picture out into the world, that I would post a picture of them on my IG in my offices for @comet.pictures and I am a truth teller so here you go.”
Although internet users were saddened to hear that Jamie Lee had gotten infected with COVID, many were disturbed by her artwork. The 2003 piece, "The Tub," was reportedly created by artist Betsy Schneider. Twitter user @samanthamarika1 revealed that the photograph was under the website Sweet is the Swamp and was later turned into a painting.

Many internet users could not believe that Jamie lee Curtis was boldly showing off the niche piece. Several even brought up Jeffrey Epstein's "p*edophile island." They claimed that the actor was a regular visitor to the island where Epstein reportedly took part in child s*x trafficking, so it should not be surprising that the actress promoted the strange artwork.
A few reactions to the painting present in Jamie Lee Curtis' office read:
Jamie Lee Curtis' artwork scandal comes on the heels of Balenciaga's recent campaign controversy. The Spanish luxury fashion house was accused of promoting child p*rnography and exploitation in their recent 2022 "Gift Collection."
The campaign's advertisements featured kids holding teddy bears in leather bondage gear and a legal document about a child p*rn case.
Balenciaga has since apologized for the campaign and removed the advertisement from their social media platforms.

The 64-year-old actress also made headlines recently for uploading a picture of herself wearing a meme t-shirt created by Erin Gallagher. The clothing piece showcased Jamie Lee's exciting reaction to Michelle Yeoh's Golden Globes win.
In an Instagram post, Jamie Lee Curtis wrote:
“I’m still stunned that a moment of natural exuberance and joy, became some sort of a symbol for women supporting other women. @erin.gallag.her highlighted it with her gorgeous post and word anthem of support and somehow from Tuesday night to Friday night it became a T-shirt that was left outside my home with a dozen everything bagels from my @everythingeverywheremovie family. I was COVID sleeping and today after my shower I proudly wear it.”
