Ex-Model, Vogue Editor Grace Coddington’s Nude Instagram Scandal

Her fiery red hair suggests a woman of passion, but her fans have proven to be just as passionate as they rallied around Vogue editor and ex-model Grace Coddington after she posted a nude cartoon of herself to promote her charitable Paddle8 No Clothes auction.

According to New York mag (link below), "By Friday evening, she had thousands of new followers — but by Saturday, her account had been removed for violation of Instagram's no-nudity clause."

Protests from users followed.

"By Monday, the account had been restored without explanation. A rep for Instagram told us: 'When our team processes reports from other members of the Instagram community, we occasionally make a mistake. In this case, we wrongly removed content and worked to rectify the error as soon as we were notified. We apologize for any convenience.'"

Hmmm. We smell hypocrisy.

"To follow it up today, Coddington posted a drawing of her own two cats, one whose privates are censored with a black bar. 'Good grief Pumpkin, Mother drew a nude selfie for her very first Instagram,' the caption reads. 'No wonder they shut her down......she is much fatter than that.' Coddington = 1, Instagram = 0."
