The On & On star posted social media snaps of a mask-free Barack and Michelle, 57, dancing around hundreds of guests - that the former President will have no doubt wanted to have been kept private.

'Mr. And Mrs. Obama, Please forgive me 4 being the 'terrible guest' at such a sacred event for your family,' the 50-year-old Grammy winner tweeted on Thursday.

The footage sparked intense backlash online.

Some photos and video at the article, lots more online - the internet never forgets.

As for this being a super-spreader event?  Daily Mail again

At least 63 people on Martha's Vineyard have tested positive for Covid-19 since Barack Obama's maskless 60th birthday bash - the most cases on the island since April

    • A total of 63 people on Martha's Vineyard have tested positive for Covid-19 since former President Barack Obama's 60th birthday on Saturday
    • The spike in cases is more than any week since April on Martha's Vineyard
    • Health officials note it's still too early to know whether the hundreds of guests and workers at the maskless parties have contributed to the surge in cases
    • 'At this time we're not aware of any cases connected to the Obama party,' a Tisbury health agent and boards of health spokesperson told DailyMail.com
    • 'It's a little too early and the only way we're going to know is through comprehensive contact tracing,' they added
    • Hundreds of people attended the party, flying in from around the country and congregating under tents where partiers danced, ate and drank the night away

Some 200 workers at the venue plus a lot of (maskless) people ate at local restaurants and stayed at local hotels. Practice what you preach.
