Former mixed martial arts star Gina Carano is not happy with Instagram. She took to Twitter to cal out the popular social media site for deleting a nude photo she posted in which she was trying to send a message of empowerment.
The 38-year-old used a Prince quote for her caption: “I find freedom sexy. I find freedom so sexy I can’t even explain it to you. You wake up every day and feel like you can do anything.”
However, Carano’s post violated Instagram’s community guidelines and the photo was deleted. The former fighter took her frustrations out in a tweet.
“So that’s what it’s like to be censored for no reason. Pic was taken down by Instagram. There’s much more important news today but that was some classic bulls—t. The whole post was about freedom of expression. Violating zero rules. Ironic. Feels like I graduated. Thanks Karen.”
Here’s that deleted photo:
