Michael Rapaport has unleashed the wrath of the Arianators after bashing Ariana Grande's look in what social media users are deeming sexist.

The "Atypical" actor, 48, shared an old picture of a fresh-faced Grande, posing with duck lips and a peace sign, on his Instagram and Twitter accounts Wednesday.

"Ariana Grande is 27 acts 12, you take off those boots she hides her legs in, the cat eye make up and the genie pony tale and I think there's hotter women working the counter at Starbucks no disrespect to Starbucks," he captioned the image.

Rapaport's critique instantly sparked outrage, with social media users slamming his remarks on Grande's appearance as misogynistic and bullying.

Twitter user @Kymbra_potter, who identified as "a long time fan" of Rapaport, said his post on Grande was "low and uncalled for," adding that it's "very disappointing to see coming from you."

Instagram user @MilkTyson said Rapaport's message is "shaming Ariana Grande without makeup on," and setting a dangerous precedent where "young girls feel they need to be in costumes or full makeup to be beautiful."

Critic @F1aspinall agreed: "It's okay not to like her or find her attractive, but I don't understand tearing down her appearance? That's a really low blow and bullying is not okay."

Rapaport seems to be unbothered by the backlash, instead choosing to fan the flames rather than expressing remorse: "EAT (expletive) SnowFlakes."

He said he's considered a "Social Media HERO" when he bad mouths President Trump but is considered "SHAMING" when he did the same thing to Grande.

The outspoken author elaborated on his podcast "I Am Rapaport" Wednesday, calling out the hypocrisy of his reception on social media.

"When I talk (expletive) on the front line... disrespecting the leader of the free world (people defend me and write), 'Protect Michael Rapaport at all costs,'" the actor said during the NSFW episode. "Then I make a joke about Ariana Grande and I'm offensive."

He continued: "Just because it's a woman doesn't mean I'm shaming her. Doesn't mean I'm degrading to women... "We know she's talented. Obviously it's a joke, I'm talking (expletive)."

Just days earlier, Rapaport apologized to Grande's ex-fiance Pete Davidson after publicly mocking the "Saturday Night Live" star after he posted a troubling social media post.

"Didn’t realize Pete Davidson posted an actual genuinely scary IG note. Had no clue. Was not informed of all of those details. Would never mock someone when they’re truly down," he tweeted Saturday. "Sincerely. I thought this was all the daily normal gossip of the day & was doing my daily take."
