AceShowbiz - Chelsea Handler has left Instagram after her topless horseback photo mocking Russian President was pulled down. The 39-year-old comedian shared on Friday, October 31 a photo of her two dogs, calling the photo sharing site "instablock."
The former "Are You There, Chelsea?" star wrote alongside the photo, "You can now find my dogs and my breasts on Twitter only where my followers have the right to choose what they say. Bye bye instablock."
On Thursday, Chelsea made headlines after she posted a topless horseback photo of her placed side by side with a photo of Vladimir Putin in similar pose along with caption, "Anything a man can do, a woman has the right to do better." Instagram then took down the snap, citing its community guidelines against nudity.
Chelsea then reposted the photo, captioning it, "Taking this down is sexist. I have every right to show I have a better body than Putin." Her second attempt failed because Instagram pulled it down again, but she reposted it on Twitter.
She then slammed Instagram, "If a man posts a photo of his nipples, it's ok, but not a woman? Are we in 1825?" Chelsea then made a third attempt to post the racy snap on Instagram along with caption, "If instagram takes this down again, you're saying Vladimir Putin Has more 1st amendment rights than..." But Instagram once again removed the photo.
