Chelsea Handler Slams “Sexist” Instagram for Removing Topless Photo That Mocks Vladimir Putin

The comedian claimed that Instagram was sexist for removing a photo of her topless on a horse, similar to a photo of Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Chelsea Handler gave anyone and everyone who was scrolling through their Instagram feed Thursday a surprise after posting a photo of herself completely topless while riding on a horse.

The split photo was put next to Vladimir Putin's famous shot of him baring his chest on a horse, clearly mocking the Russian president. "Anything a man can do, a woman has the right to do better #kremlin," Handler captioned the picture, which was then taken down by Instagram.

That didn't stop her, though.

Chelsea then re-posted the same photo and wrote, "Taking this down is sexist. I have every right to prove I have a better body than Putin."

Unfortunately, her tactics didn't work, and Instagram took the photo down again.

Chelsea posted the notice they sent her, that read, "We removed your post because it doesn't follow our Community Guidelines. Please read our Community Guidelines to learn what kind of posts are allowed and how you can keep Instagram safe."

She captioned the screenshot, "If a man posts a photo of his nipples, it's ok, but not a woman? Are we in 1825?"

However, Handler decided to take yet another crack at the photo, reposting the picture and writing, "If instagram takes this down again, you're saying Vladimir Putin Has more 1st amendment rights than me. Talk to your bosses." (Third time's a charm?)

The photo is no longer on Handler's Instagram account.

Hey Chelsea, if you want to start a revolt, we know at least one other person who could join the fight.
