The Disney star, 23, posted two s-xy Instagram photos on Wednesday that showed her nipples. People immediately flooded the “Descendants 3” actress’s comments with criticism about going braless.
“Hate to break it to ya…but 13 year olds are on Instagram….unfortunately as a parent ..thought it was safer than most social media,” one person said. “It’s one thing to teach girls how to love their bodies, but posting a pic without a bra is not the way to do it,” another wrote. A third commented, “That pic has ruined my child hood of watching liv and maddie.”
The last put it simply: “Omg please cover you private body part.”
Cameron responded by changing the captions to feminist teachings from the book “Singing Woman: Voices of the Sacred Feminine.”
“Women HAVE a history that has been systematically suppressed,” she wrote in part. “Our collective spirituality has largely been tainted to fit the needs of men and those in power. This has a profound effect on the self-esteem of girls and the women they become.”
She also reposted comments from her supporters to her Instagram Story, who praised her for showing her body without shame.
Boyfriend Thomas Doherty seemed to approve of his girlfriend’s message; “‘thank you god. Amen,'” he commented.
This is hardly the first time that the actress has spoken up in favor of s-xy selfies; she has previously defended bikini pictures she’s posted and publicly supported fellow Disney starlet Bella Thorne when she leaked her own n-de photos before a hacker could do it, bashing Whoopi Goldberg on Twitter for shaming Thorne.
