Female nipples have been attracting more attention again recently, be it through transparent red-carpet looks or Kim Kardashian’s bra with a fake nipple from her brand Skims. But unfortunately, the female breast is still attracting a lot of criticism in 2023, especially on social media.
The comments under Lily-Rose Depp’s most recent post prove that little has been done to “free the nipple,” especially on Instagram. Her pictures sparked a debate, including body-shaming comments, that was more than shocking.
While some fans defended the 24-year-old, countless men and women took it upon themselves to criticize Lily-Rose Depp and her body. Comments like “I feel disgusted after seeing this,” “Are these people okay? Seriously, because I don’t think they are,” or “She looks like she’s exhausted and needs something to eat,” can be found under her post.
Why the whole thing? Because nipples are visible under a top? Scandalous! After all, nipples are not just a fashion accessory these days, but are also a symbol of the fight for more equality. It is only the female nipples that are still sexualized without being asked, as Depp’s post sadly illustrates.
The actor herself left the post without comment, only mentioning her girlfriend, 070 Shake, in the caption. But the message seems clear: Depp will not be intimidated by derogatory comments and will continue to show her self-confidence.
