Chrissy Teigen is fighting back after Instagram deleted her topless photo, sharing more sexy pics despite the social media site’s protests.

Chrissy Teigen Reposts Topless Photo After Instagram Deletes It

Teigen, 29, shared a photo from her recent shoot with W Magazine, in which the supermodel appears topless, one nipple exposed. Shortly after she shared the sexy pic, it was taken down by Instagram for violating their anti-nudity policy. Teigen, not one to be bossed around, uploaded the photo once more, this time as an oil painting, writing, “ok what if it’s this classy oil painting.” And then she uploaded a “pencil sketch” followed by a “colored pencil” sketch.

Both were removed by Instagram, and Teigen eventually gave up, posting a photo of her dog, writing, “back to dog photos.”

However, Teigen did take to Twitter to continue to shed light on Instagram’s controversial nudity policies, tweeting, “the nipple has been temporarily silenced but she will be back, oh yes, she will be back.”

Teigen’s mother, however, found a way to get around Instagram’s nudity standards, sharing a censored version of the photo with an emoji covering Teigen’s nipple.

Just incase they take it dawn…

When she wasn’t fighting back against Instagram’s highly criticized policies, Teigen took the time to laugh off a critic on Instagram who suggested she has had a child (she has not). “I like Chrissy, sometimes lol other times yes she’s annoying but I like that she’s like F it that baby Fd my body up but so what [sic],” one critic wrote on a photo of her topless shoot. Teigen took a screenshot of the comment and uploaded it to her official Instagram page, writing, “I can’t stop laughing.”

After the story was picked up by People, Teigen continued to show just how awesome she is by responding to a twitter user who commented on the article, “I wish I had Chrissy’s body.”

Teigen saw the comment and decided to preach some body positivity, tweeting back, “no! You have your body and it’s you and perfect.”
