Chelsea Handler accused Instagram of being sexist after the image sharing site took down a photo of her posing topless on a horse, which was inspired by Vladimir Putin‘s photo.
Handler uploaded a side by side collage featuring her and Putin riding horses topless with the caption, “Anything a man can do, a woman has the right to do better #kremlin.”
When Instagram took the image down, she put it back up and called the policy sexist (Instagram removed it again).
Taking this down is sexist. I have every right to show I have a better body than Putin. pic.twitter.com/SFih1Aa17x

When Instagram took down the photo again, the comedian uploaded it again with a new caption: “If Instagram takes this down again, you’re saying Vladimir Putin has more 1st amendment rights than me. Talk to your bosses.”
After the image was taken down a final time, Handler shared a screen grab of the message she received from the company posted this:
