Miley Cyrus Exposes Nipples -- Attention-Seeking or What?
Since her transformation in 2013, Miley Cyrus has been making headlines for her provocative photos and don't-give-a-f--- attitude. It's Miley just being Miley.
One moment we see her bundling up layers for fall, then the next thing we see her stripped down with little to no clothing. She seems to enjoy switching up her outfits these days and has been on a journey in the last few months.
Earlier this week, the former "Hannah Montana" star yet again posted a carousel of controversial photos of herself freeing the nipple on Instagram, challenging the platform's nudity guidelines.
In the picture, she is seen wearing denim shorts and an extremely see-through white tank top with no bra, so her nipples are definitely full on display.
Miley captioned the shot with, "I'm getting more basic by the day. The only thing the 'new me' loves more than a mirror selfie is a self-timed one."
The "Wrecking Ball" singer is aware of Instagram's community guidelines, which specifically cite that photos of "female nipples" are against the rules. The platform has already previously warned her that the photos could be removed.
Miley's comment section was jam-packed with praises and positivity. Some even declared her the "Queen of Nipples."
In 2013, the singer supported popular #FreeTheNipple campaign on Twitter and Instagram, which aims to desexualize the female nipple. The image was promptly removed by Instagram.
However, clearly, Cyrus is not afraid to bare it all if she has to.
During that time, she posted a topless black-and-white snap of herself on the platform. She later posted a series of multiple headshots of herself as a child and Photoshopped them into women's topless bodies. The photos have been widely condemned as it seems affiliated to child porn.
Miley's nipple post comes after "Aquaman" star Amber Heard also condemned Instagram's double standard on nudity guidelines after a photo of her was removed.
The actress protested by posting a topless photo of Jason Momoa, "Aquaman" co-star and actor, which was not removed from the platform. The original image featured Amber in a black suit jacket and pantyhose, the former remaining unbuttoned and providing the reader with a shot of Amber's breasts.
Instagram's policy regarding the display of female nipples is somewhat subjective, as the platform's policy prohibits "photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks," including "some photos of female nipples."
