Patti LaBelle's book signing Tuesday was crashed by anti-fur protesters, TMZ reports.

LaBelle was signing copies of her "Desserts LaBelle" book at a Barnes & Noble when protesters posing as fans asked for a group photo. When LaBelle obliged, they pulled out signs and began chanting, "Patti LaBelle has blood on her hands."

LaBelle is known for having an extensive fur collection.

Store security removed the protesters.
