Former MMA Fighter Gina Carano Under Fire After Risque Instagram Photo
Former MMA fighter Gina Carano hasn’t actually fought since 2009, but she’s done a nice job of keeping herself in the headlines. This week, she’s facing a little backlash for a recent post.
Carano, one of the most successful fighters in MMA history, took to Instagram to post a photo of herself that we’ll call… risque. The photo included a quote from Prince – “I find freedom sexy. I find freedom so sexy I can’t even explain it to you. You wake up every day and feel like you can do anything.”
Instagram actually wound up taking the photo down because it included nudity. Some of her MMA colleagues also reacted negatively to the post.
Carano took to Twitter to express her frustration with being censored. She noted that the whole point of the post was to demonstrate her freedom of expression.
So that’s what it’s like to be censored for no reason. Pic was taken down by Instagram. There’s much more important news today but that was some classic bullshit. The whole post was about freedom of expression. Violating zero rules. Ironic. Feels like I graduated. 👍 Thanks Karen pic.twitter.com/hJDn4Vph49
