CHELSEA Handler has tested Instagram and Twitter’s nudity policies by posting, and re-posting, pictures of her boobs.
The boundary-pushing comedian recreated Russian president Vladimir Putin’s topless horseriding pose on Thursday, posting the side-by-side images on Instagram with the caption: “Anything a man can do, a woman has the right to do better”.

The post was quickly removed by Instagram, which cited its nudity guidelines to justify the take-down.
Angered by the removal, Handler posted the image on Twitter, where it remains, saying: “Taking this down is sexist. I have every right to show I have a better body than Putin.”
“If a man posts a photo of his nipples, it’s OK, but not a woman? Are we in 1825?” Source: Supplied
She also reposted the image to Instagram, challenging the social media giant to keep it up.
The racy post has been deleted by Instagram another two times.
Handler has hit out at Instagram, accusing its guidelines of being “sexist” and violating her “first amendment rights”.
