Plus-size blogger served apology by Instagram for removing bikini photos
They claimed that a member of their team had removed the picture accidentally.
Instagram was compelled to apologise to Singaporean-Indian blogger Aarti Olivia Dubey after her two-week protest following the deletion of her photos in a bikini. They claimed that a member of their team had removed the picture accidentally.
Dubey, who describes herself as a “fat brown feminist with a penchant for fashion”, was angry when Instagram took down photos of herself and two other plus-size models from a bikini shoot on May 21. She shared the official apology from Instagram on her account Curves Becomes Her along with a note that read: "It's almost TWO weeks. So I accept your apology Instagram but it does not change a thing. You have placed the image back but at what cost? You are answerable to ALL of my plus size friends for removing their images or accounts on Instagram or Facebook.”
The plus-size blogger then later posted several photos of herself in a bikini to reiterate her stand against body-shaming.
