Scout Willis is pretty mad at Instagram. And Instagram’s ban of female nipples.
The 22-year-old daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis and sometimes model and actress has taken to the streets of New York to protest Instagram’s anti-nudity policy. And she’s done it completely topless.
Judging by a series of tweets posted over the last few weeks, Scout’s protest (called #FreeTheNipple) appeared to stem from Instagram first deleting photos, then suspending her account after she posted a photo of a sweatshirt she designed called The Babe Bomber, which featured two topless women.
Scout determinedly walked the streets of New York (where it is completely legal to be topless), on her #FreeTheNipple campaign. She even changed her Instagram name for a brief amount of time to Scout Areola Willis before her account was deleted. Has a nice ring to it (WINK).
Scout’s protest comes a few weeks after a Canadian mother’s Instagram was shut down after she posted photographs of herself breastfeeding.
Under its terms of use, Instagram tells users: “You may not post violent, nude, partially nude, discriminatory, unlawful, infringing, hateful, pornographic or sexually suggestive photos or other content via the Service.”
But somehow, images like this one from infamous knobcloud Dan Bilzerian seem to get through and not get banned:
Keep marching with your nips out Scout. You go girl.

You know whay would be great? If this "famous" person and I use that term very loosely, put her energy into helping charities or people that need help-and sorry women who want to expose their nipples are hardly counted as a charity.
I'm in New York. It was freezing that day. 14C top temp. But really, what ridiculous thing to put your energy into. Looks like attention seeking to me.
