LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Chelsea Handler accused Instagram of being sexist after the image sharing site took down a photo of her posing topless on a horse a la Vladimir Putin.
Handler first uploaded the image -- a side by side collage featuring her and Putin riding horses topless -- under the caption: "Taking this town is sexist. I have a right to prove I have a better body than Putin."

When Instagram took down the photo, the comedian uploaded it again with a new caption: "If Instagram takes this down again, you're saying Vladimir Putin has more 1st amendment rights than me. Talk to your bosses."

After the image was taken down a second time, Handler shared a screen grab of the message she received from the company and wrote: "If a man posts a photo of his nipples, it's ok, but not a woman? Are we in 1825?"
