Comedienne Chelsea Handler is boycotting Instagram after the site twice deleted a topless photograph of her.
The This Means War star was lampooning Russian president Vladimir Putin when she was photographed riding a horse topless in a wooded area. Putin was photographed in a similar pose in 2009. When Handler first posted the image she attached the caption Anything a man can do a woman has the right to do better. kremlin. Instagram cited its nudity guidelines before removed the shot.
The upset star then took to Twitter to post a screenshot of the image writing Taking this down is sexist. I have every right to show I have a better body than Putin.
After posting the shot on Instagram for a second time the funny woman grumbled about her rights stating If instagram takes this down again you re saying Vladimir Putin has more 1st amendment rights than me. Talk to your bosses.
If a man posts a photo of his nipples it s ok but not a woman Are we in 1825 http //t.co/utYaq7yr2E

Following the deletion of the second post Handler went on to declare she would exclusively use Twitter as she feels censored on Instagram.
She added a caption to a picture of her two dogs writing You can now find my dogs and my breasts on Twitter only where my followers have the right to choose what they say (sic). Bye bye instablock.
