Chelsea Handler Continues to Defy Instagram's Rules

Thirty-nine year old comedienne, Chelsea Handler seems bent on breaking the rules-Instagram's rules to be exact.

The controversial talk show host has just posted another topless pic of herself on Instagram last Friday, which as expected was promptly taken down by the website.

Handler was featured looking for her dog Chunk with the mountains as her backdrop. As soon as the photo was removed from the photo sharing site, Handler took to Twitter to post another image with the caption:

"Finding chunk. Instagram had him!"

Earlier this year, the comedienne criticized the site for removing an image she posted where she was spoofing Russian President, Vladimir Putin. In the photo, she was featured riding a horse topless similar to Putin's shirtless photograph.

After Instagram took down the image, she tweeted her opinion of Instagram's move.  

"Taking this down is sexist. I have every right to prove I have a better body than Putin," she said. "If a man posts a photo of his nipples, it's ok, but not a woman? Are we in 1825?"

While Handler did attempt to post the image a second time around, Instagram once again took down the image to which she replied that she would be, posting her arguably controversial photographs on Twitter, instead.

"You can now find my dogs and my breasts on Twitter, only where my followers have the right to choose what they say. Bye bye instablock."

Handler has yet to shut down her Instagram account but she did stay true to her tweet and has taken to posting both her dogs and topless photos on the microblogging site.
