Fans of Will & Grace were left reeling after Minnie Driver promoted the sitcom while wearing garb that is traditionally worn by Orthodox or Hasidic Jewish men, DailyMailTV has learned.

The guest star on the popular show wore a black hat, curly sideburns - called payot - and a low-cut top underneath a prayer shawl, known as a tallit, as she waved and said: 'Shalom everybody! Lorraine Finster is back on Will & Grace!'

The short clip was uploaded to the NBC show's official Instagram account on August 30 but was quickly deleted after viewers pointed out how distasteful it was.

The British actress was also seen wearing the garb in a video clip posted by star actress Debra Messing as she and co-stars sang and goofed off behind the scenes.

There appeared to be no obvious reason as to why Driver was wearing the Hasidic clothing.

DailyMailTV reached out to NBC for comment but representatives for the network declined to comment on the video.

One Jewish fan of the show felt Driver and NBC's decision to record and then upload the promo was in poor taste, even showing family members who agreed.

The offended fan told DailyMailTV: 'It wasn't up for too long and after I sent my objections [which] were not even addressed, they took down the story.'

The upset viewer explained that only male Hasidic Jews wear the black hat and the payot, which are the long curls on the sides of the head.
