Everyone be kind to each other. This is what bullying looks like. #Worthless

Wow ... that's just tacky as hell ...

While promoting some no-doubt D-list movie she's filming, F-list actress Tara Reid posted an Instagram photo which made the personality look like she had dark purple bruises across her forehead and face, making it look like she'd been beaten.

The blonde wrote the caption, "Everyone be kind to each other. This is what bullying looks like. #Worthless."

Actually that's what bad makeup and a real need for attention look like, Tara.

Many of her followers that she'd been beaten, involved in an accident or injured, while others were quick to see that this was all a marketing ploy to promote her new movie Worthless, which she's currently filming.

There are so many things wrong with this photo we don't know where to start, but we will try ... First off, what she's trying to capture isn't even "bullying" -- it's physical abuse. The fact that she's making herself look like a victim when she is not -- is just plain wrong, and it's a slap in the face to any woman who is a true victim of violence. Oh and the fact that she's using this photo for press on a movie is gross.

Also that makeup is bad. Really bad. Like we hope that makeup person feels embarrassed seeing this photo because it mostly looks like that person just took lipstick and smeared it over Tara's face.

Sadly, anyone who has actually been abused knows that a simple swipe of makeup remover towelette -- won't instantly wash away the marks and bruises -- like these.

Tara got one thing right -- she's pretty worthless ...
