Lili Reinhart has apologized for posting what she late called a “racially sensitive” photo of a person in costume.

The 21-year-old Riverdale actress posted on Twitter this weekend a DeviantArt photo she found on Instagram of a woman dressed up as a “demon,” sporting a black bodysuit and black-colored body paint on her face and arms.

“Found my Halloween costume!!” Reinhart wrote. “Inspired by the color of my soul.”

The pic spurred mixed reactions. Some people accused her of wanting to “do blackface.” Others said they did not find the photo offensive. Nonetheless, she deleted the tweet and apologized.

“I did not mean for my tweet to come off that way. I can see how it was interpreted as being insensitive, completely. I saw the pic on a Halloween Instagram and didn’t think it would be interpreted as being racially insensitive,” she wrote early on Sunday. “I apologize. Never meant any harm. I can see how it could’ve been misinterpreted.”

Reinhart is not the first celebrity to be accused of doing blackface and brownface on Halloween.

An overzealous fan reached to grabHarry Styles‘ crotch as he performed onstage at the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday night, an incident that has spurred scores of others to express outrage at what they called a “sexual assault.”

The groping took place during the We Can Survive concert to benefit breast cancer awareness and was captured on camera by a few fans. Styles appeared disturbed and moved the person’s hand away, but continued his performance. He has not commented on the incident.

“Near the end of performing ‘Kiwi,’ like usual, Harry went to the very front of the stage to get the crowd extra excited. He got down onto his knees and was shaking his arms to the music with his eyes closed. A fan then reached out and touched his crotch. He very quickly got up and appeared to also shove their hand a little bit to remove them faster,” an eyewitness told Yahoo! Celebrity U.K. “You can tell it freaked him out a little because as he continued performing, he avoided the section that fan was standing in.”

“If you grab someone’s dick without their consent, it’s sexual assault,” user @floralspark wrote. “Just because Harry’s a male doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the same right as women. You must be absolutely disgusting if you think him kneeling in front of you calls for that. I’m disgusted. #respectharry.”
