Sunday Style, an Australian magazine published by News Corporation, has been forced to issue an apology on Instagram after using a woman in black lingerie to advertise an internship.
The ad, which was posted on the Sunday Style account (currently down) on Friday, showed a woman wearing risqué underwear posing on her hands and knees on a bed. Across the image were the words: “Interns wanted.”
Sunday Style said in the caption that the magazine was on the hunt for fashion internship applications, asking readers to tag their friends or forward their resumes to an email address. Instead, commenters expressed their disgust with the ad.

It has since been deleted from Instagram by the magazine arm of News Corporation, NewsLifeMedia, and replaced with an apology: “We made an error in judgement today with an image used in a recent Instagram post calling for interns that has since been taken down. We take our intern program seriously and apologise for any offence caused,” it read.

Rupert Murdoch, who owns News Corporation, is not having a good week. So far, a segment on his Fox News channel has said Birmingham, England is controlled by Muslims and the man himself took to Twitter after the Paris terror attacks to insult Muslims personally.
NewsLifeMedia did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

As many moms know, being pregnant can prove to be the best of times and the worst of times.
But when it comes to Liv Tyler, the actress wants to make sure she remembers the highs and lows way before she gives birth. As a result, the Lord of the Rings alumna came up with a clever idea to commemorate her journey.
As she eagerly waits for the birth of her second child, the 37-year-old decided to ask a close friend to paint a portrait of her baby bump. Paging Girls star Jemima Kirke! Somebody needs your help.
“So fun to be painted by a friend!!!!” Tyler shared on Instagram while posing in lingerie and a floral cover up. “@rafaizzy Brooklyn ny”
She added, “Beautiful talented special totally 1 of a kind dear friend Jemima Kirke @rafaizzy painting me!!!!!!”
While the final product has yet to be revealed—it is a special gift after all—we can only imagine how stunning the painting turned out.
As Tyler continues to prepare for her next arrive, the actress is more than willing to admit being pregnant isn’t the worst thing in the world. In fact, she pretty much enjoys the experience.
“It’s fun not being on a diet or thinking, ‘Oh my god, I have to go to SoulCycle every day,’” she toldTown Country. “The most fun thing about being pregnant again is having those mom hormones flowing around. You’re more present in your body, and it’s making me a better mother for Milo.”
And with a hit series under her belt (shout-out to The Leftovers), the actress feels like she has nothing to complain about.
”I mean, for seven years I’d been saying I wanted to do an HBO show with an ensemble cast. And I wanted a house in the country. And getting to have another child? If you knew me well, they were the things my heart longed for,” she explained to the publication. “And they all came together, like a speeding freight train, in one year.”
You’re a lucky (and beautiful) lady! Enjoy the weeks ahead, girl!
