Gina Carano photo taken down by Instagram

However, the Gina Carano Instagram photo was soon taken down for violating the community guidelines. According to Instagram's community guidelines, nudity is not allowed on the platform for a "variety of reasons." This includes photos, videos as well as some digital-created content that portray sexual intercourse, genitals and other controversial body parts. 

Despite the community guidelines, Gina Carano was unhappy after her empowering photo was taken down by Instagram. The former MMA star turned actress took to Twitter to blast Instagram for taking her photo down. Carano branded Instagram's actions as "classic bulls**t. She further said how "ironic" it was for the photo-sharing platform to take down a photo that was all bout freedom of expression. 

Former UFC fighter Renzo Gracie commented on the original Gina Carano Instagram post, calling out the 38-year-old for her controversial photo. "Put some clothes on... you don’t need it,” the Brazilian commented. "You are among the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. That makes you unique. There’s no need for sex pics. You are the most beautiful woman that walks around. Simple as that.”

"Draw the art you want to see. Start the business you want to run. Play the music you want to hear. Write the books you want to read. Build the products you want to use. Do the work you want to see done," she continued with her positive mantra.

It remains to be seen if the picture will be removed by Instagram.
