"Call me crazy, but I'd bang you! Aren't I a prince?"

Celebrities have blasted a man who paid tribute to his "curvy" wife on Instagram.

Last week, author and public speaker Robbie Tripp shared to Instagram an image of himself and wife Sarah embracing on the beach, alongside a lengthy caption discussing his attraction to women who have "thick thighs, big booty, and a cute little side roll".

While some people thought it was a sweet and romantic tribute to his wife of three years, others called him out for seeking praise from his followers for simply loving the woman he chose to marry.

Kiwi actress Melanie Lynskey took to Twitter to share her thoughts.

"Like many women, I am not here for the curvy wife lovin' dude and here's why," the 40-year-old wrote on Twitter. "I have had too many creepy men tweet @ me saying how hot they think I am & how they'd date me.The expectation is that I'll be flattered...and surprised.

"There's this air of 'call me crazy, but I'd bang you! Aren't I a prince?' It makes me truly sick."

The Two and a Half Men actress - who is engaged to actor Jason Ritter - said it's not the act of devotion that bothers her, rather the idea that a man should be praised for loving a woman who isn't skinny.

"Some people are celebrating the fact that this man loves his wife. I get that," she wrote. "Public announcements of devotion are very sexy to me. What isn't sexy is acting as though you're one of the few men on earth who could possibly love a woman who looks like that."

Mara Wilson, who played Matilda in the hit '90s film, shared an excerpt of Robbie's book Create Rebellion, writing sarcastically, "If only I had a curvy wife to inspire me to write such brilliance" before adding, "he just seems like a bigoted ass."

Tess Holliday, model and author of the book The Not So Subtle Art of Being a Fat Girl, lamented that the bar is set "so low" for men.

"You want a medal for dating a 'curvy' girl. Get the f--- outta here," the 32-year-old wrote. "He is using his wife as prop to get attention. It's obvious in his language. I think it's great to show love is love, but not in this case."

In Robbie's post, he recalled how his friends used to tease him for his attraction to curvier girls and how it made him want to become ~woke~.

"As I became a man and started to educate myself on issues such as feminism and how the media marginalizes women by portraying a very narrow and very specific standard of beauty (thin, tall, lean)," he wrote. "I realized how many men have bought into that lie."

His wife responded to criticisms in an interview with Women's Health magazine, calling her husband's gesture romantic.

"Since the first day we met all the way to today he's always expressed his feelings for me and treated me like his queen," she said. "He’s definitely a romantic."

But the internet did not agree.
