Madonna slams Instagram for removing body photo, calls move ‘sexism’: It ‘nourishes the baby
The ‘Like a Virgin’ performer is no stranger to risqué photo displays
Madonna needed a little more material to escape an Instagram purge after photos of her being “exposed” were allegedly removed by the social media platform.
The generational pop star, 63, took to the app to repost some of the missing snaps while tearing into Instagram for taking down sensual photos that show Madonna in various poses in lingerie, fishnet stockings and stilettos.
“I’m reposting photographs Instagram took down without warning or notification. … The reason they gave my management that does not handle my account was that a small portion of my nipple was exposed,” Madonna captioned the Instagram post on Thursday.
The “Material Girl” performer maintained that society has perpetuated an obvious double standard regarding the pectoral body part that men are lauded for sharing but women must keep hidden.
Giving thanks that I have managed to maintain my sanity through four decades of censorship…… sexism……ageism and misogyny,” she concluded before injecting an anti-Thanksgiving dig aimed at the historical explanation for why the country celebrates the holiday.
Madonna said her post about censorship is “perfectly timed with the lies we have been raised to believe about the pilgrims peacefully breaking bread with the Native American Indians when they landed on Plymouth Rock!”
“If you’re dragging Madonna online tonight, you can’t really call yourself a feminist,” Kathy Griffin, 60, tweeted as Madonna delivered a monologue to open the show. “If the reason you’re dragging her is because she committed the crime of still being alive, and behaving in a way that you personally don’t approve of, you are most certainly ageist.”
