After canceling numerous press appearances due to her father's incident, Addison Rae is back in the spotlight and courting controversy with her latest swimsuit photo.

On August 3, Tuesday, the 21-year-old TikTok celebrity posted an Instagram photo of herself wearing Praying's Holy Trinity Bikini ($100), whose top is printed with "Father" on one side and "Son" on the other. "Holy Spirit" is written on the bottom of Rae's scandalous Adidas-collaboration outfit, which was only visible in the top half of the photograph.

While the celebrity's famous friends praised the daring swimwear - photographer Mark "The Cobrasnake" Hunter hailed it a "home run," and musician Tate McRae remarked "oh my god WOW" - many commentators criticized the daring swimwear in the comments. Rae was deemed blasphemous by some.

"Nah this disrespectful to Jesus. Sad what y'all do for money," one person wrote, while another pearl-clutcher added, "This is not okay! BLASPHEMY!"

"Is nobody gonna talk about this disrespecting religions," a third wrote, while a fourth deemed the bikini "so messed up."

Christina Aguilera posed on Instagram over the weekend in the French version of the two-piece, which was printed with the words "Père," "Fils," and "Esprit Saint," with the cheeky remark "A religious experience." However, the pop star's post did not receive the same condemnation as Rae's; perhaps her fans simply did not understand the language?

The brand Praying provides witty fashions inspired by Y2K memories; popular pieces include a crop top ($55) that reads "God's Favorite" and a shoulder bag ($90) that honors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's decade-long relationship.

Rae has a rough few weeks so going back to the swing of things with a controversy right off the bat is probably going to be stressful. Since Page Six's exclusive revelation that her 46-year-old father, Monty Lopez, reportedly "guided" a 25-year-old woman into a five-month romance, the influencer and actress has canceled press engagements and has difficulty processing the news.

Just a day ago before this bikini photo is deemed a blasphemy, the social media queen was actually hailed for sporting a juicy and refreshing mismatched bikini. Addison took to Instagram on August 1 with the comment "Sugar, spice, and everything nice" to reveal her new swimsuit from model Emily Ratajkowski's Inamorata swimwear collection.

The Orpheus Top and Oceanside Short are from the model's Inamorata swimwear line. To while we've seen her dazzle in everything from a retro-style two-piece and a classic floral triangle set to a super-affordable, seductive cheetah-print bikini, this delightfully mismatched ensemble is a standout. The two-piece is linked together by delicate strings and is striped orange and blue to match Addison's triangle-shaped cups. Pretty, pretty!
