The Bachelor: Abbie Chatfield sunbathes topless at the beach

Abbie Chatfield shared a powerful statement on Instagram as she demanded the social media channel allow women’s nipples to be posted online.

On Wednesday, the 26-year-old shared a completely shirtless photo of herself with her thousands of followers, as she caught some rays while sunbathing on a beach.

Alongside the image – which saw her breasts covered in star emojis – Abbie penned a list of reasons why women should be topless on a beach if they want to.

“Please remember sunscreen,” she said before writing two of her reasons: “Swimming with loose t**ties is the best feeling in the world” and “No of sand in a bikini top”.

She then added that it was “warm and freeing” to do so, before adding, “You can hear people having conversations about it as you walk past them – we love a conversation starter!”

“Nipples do NOT need to be sexualized. See: man showcasing ppl,” she added.

Finally, she urged: ‘Can IG [Instagram] pls allow nipples, i’m sick of this x.’

Instagram’s official community guidelines explicitly state that nudity is not allowed on the platform and the female nipple is included under this umbrella.

There are exceptions to the rule such as “photos in the context of breastfeeding, childbirth and times after childbirth, health-related situations (e.g. post-mastectomy, breast cancer awareness breast or gender confirmation surgery) or an act of protest is permitted.’

Nudity shown in paintings and sculptures is also permitted.

It comes after I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! The star was forced to respond to rumors that she had split from Konrad Bien-Stephens after the couple didn’t post about each other for over a week.

Abbie took to Instagram last week to put the rumors to bed once and for all, confirming that she and the Bachelorette hunk are still very much together.

“For anyone worried that I haven’t posted with Konrad in seven or eight days – don’t worry, we haven’t broken up, we’re just long distance,” she said. .

” Do not panic. We are always together. Also, we don’t have to post every day together, that’s good. We are always together.

She also hit back at critics who questioned her friendships with other men, defiantly replying, “I have the right to have male friends too.”

“I’m queer, so if I wasn’t allowed to have friends who were the gender I was going to fuck with, I had to sit in my bedroom and think about him all day every day.

‘So don’t stress, he’s coming to the radio show tonight. Then you can hear us speak. Good catch !’

Abbie confirmed she was dating Konrad – who appeared on Brooke Blurton’s season of The Bachelorette – in November last year.

Konrad sparked rumors he hasn’t found love with Brooke after he was spotted sharing a steamy kiss with Abbie at the Beach Hotel in Byron Bay earlier this month.

They went Instagram official a few days later on November 24.
