Paris Jackson defends her love of nudity with a declarative Instagram post
Paris Jackson loves being naked and she doesn't need her fans' approval.
After the 19-year-old model, actress, and daughter of pop icon reportedly came under fire on social media after posting a photograph of herself tanning shirtless, Jackson shared her thoughts on nudity with her Instagram followers to silence her haters once and for all.
On Friday, to put the critics in their places, Jackson posted yet another photograph of herself with no shirt on, along with a lengthy, incredibly honest caption explaining her stance on nudity.
She explained her belief that nudity is healthy, and a movement that goes back to nature and an expression of freedon. "Being naked is part of what makes us human," she wrote. "I'm usually naked when I garden. It's actually a beautiful thing and you don't have to make it sexual the way many Hollywood stars (and the media) do."
She went on to explain that self-expression is an important part of feminism and reminded followers that "the human body is a beautiful thing and no matter what 'flaws' you have."
Though Jackson is completely pro-nudity, she did take the time to acknowledge she understood why her post could have upset some people. However, she did not apologize for the photographs, and instead invited those people to consider unfollowing her on social media.
Jackson also reminded everyone on Snapchat that there are far more important things besides her tanning people should be worried about, like entirely nude beaches, or you know, politics.
The daughter of Michael Jackson has been having quite the exciting year, landing her first movie role earlier this month and signing a deal with modeling agency, IMG Models back in March, so we have a feeling Paris' social media presence will soon be on the rise.
