Disney star Dove Cameron, 23, received mixed reactions after posting two alluring Instagram photos that showed her ni**les.
Critics flooded the comments section, expressing concern about the potential influence on younger followers. Some argued that such posts were not suitable for a platform with young users.
Responding to the criticism, Cameron took a feminist approach, changing the captions to include teachings from the book "Singing Woman: Voices of the Sacred Feminine."
She emphasized the importance of recognizing the suppressed history of women and how spirituality has often been shaped to suit the needs of men and those in power. Cameron highlighted how this suppression impacts the self-esteem of girls and women.
Reposting supportive comments from her followers on her Instagram Story, she received praise from those who admired her body-positive message and refusal to be shamed for her choices. Her boyfriend, Thomas Doherty, also showed his support, commenting, "'Thank you, God. Amen.'"
This isn't the first time Dove Cameron has faced criticism over s-xy selfies. She has previously defended her bikini pictures and stood by fellow Disney starlet Bella Thorne when she took control of her own narrative by leaking her own n-de photos to thwart potential hackers. Cameron publicly called out those who shamed Thorne, including Whoopi Goldberg.
Dove Cameron's commitment to body positivity and self-empowerment resonates with her supporters, while also sparking debate and discussion among her followers and the broader audience. As an advocate for embracing one's body and being unapologetically oneself, Cameron continues to use her platform to spread messages of empowerment and self-love.
