Olivia Newton-John’s Instagram account’s under fire after posting a pic of the late star in support of Pride … with commenters rushing to blast the post’s intention.

The actress — who passed away back in 2022 — still has an active social media account, and the IG admin decided to share a snap of ONJ in a rainbow-covered sweater … wishing all of the late actress’ followers a Happy Pride Month.

While it seems a rather innocuous post, it started a firestorm among Newton-John’s followers … who flooded the comments section with a ton of homophobic comments.

People called the post sickening — with many specifically calling out the account’s admin for using a picture of the deceased Newton-John to “push an agenda.” Go check out the post for yourself … some say they are unfollowing after leaving hateful comments.

FWIW … some are pointing out the rainbow sweater was actually meant as a stand against cancer — rather than for LGBTW+ rights — but, it seems a bit odd anyone’s upset at all given Newton-John’s history with the LGBTQ community.

Olivia was a huge ally of the LGBTQ+ community during her lifetime … speaking out for gay rights repeatedly and posting messages of support to social media for past Pride months.

She even performed at the Los Angeles Pride Parade back in 2008 … so, she stepped up for the community time and time again during her life.

As we mentioned … Olivia passed away in 2022 after a 30-year battle with metastatic breast cancer. She was 73.

It seems many think Olivia wouldn’t approve of the post … but, they gotta do more research ’cause the late Newton-John was always proud of Pride!
