The campaign continues! Chelsea Handler took to her Twitter on Thursday, Feb. 12, to share an outrageous new topless photo with her 5.5 million-plus followers.
"Thanks for having me, twitter," the comedienne, 39, wrote, alongside a risqué snap of herself, topless on a terrace. In the pic, the Uganda Be Kidding Me author gazes upon a city skyline and the traffic down below as she rests her bare breasts on the ledge of the balcony.
Handler's latest body-baring photo is no surprise. Jennifer Aniston's BFF has been on a mission since last fall to sway Instagram to allow her topless pictures on its platform.
"I just try to not overthink anything," Handler told Elle in a recent interview. "Now I'm just in a war with Instagram trying to keep my topless photos on it. Because I don't understand why nipples are nudity. Who cares? Men can show their nipples, but if we have breasts we can't show them? And so if you're flat-chested are you allowed to show your nipples? Is that better? And can I show one nipple, but not two? I don't even understand. Once somebody tells me I can't do something I have to figure out how to do it."
She warned Instagram that there were more to come. "Yeah, I've had a bunch already," Handler told Elle. "I've done a series of them and I'll continue to do them. And just find a creative way to cover up my private parts. It's not a vagina. Yes, no one should show their vagina. But nipples? It's ridiculous. You obviously can't publish underage girls' photo, but I'm in charge of what I want to do with my own body. People are following me because they want to see pictures of me. So why is Instagram editing them?"
She noted that she had not talked with anyone from the site about their policies. "No, I'm not conversing with them," Handler noted. "Maybe I'll interview them for my Silicon Valley special. And then I'll post a picture of me topless while I'm there… Or maybe I'll just do the interview topless."
