Model Paulina Porizkova called out an Instagrammer who said she “focuses on herself way too much,” via an Instagram post on Thursday 18 November.
INSTAGRAMMER: ‘YOU FOCUSED WAY TOO MUCH ON YOURSELF’
The 56-year-old model often posts nude photos and bikini snaps on Instagram. One of her followers did not approve of this and left a nasty comment under one of her photos.
“You focused way too much on yourself and your looks. At your age, you should be bathing in the love of your kids and grandkids instead of traveling all over the world, parading around half naked and acting like a 16 year old,” read the comment.
Paulina screenshot the nasty comment and posted it on Instagram.
“This. This comment is the reason why I do what I do. For all of you who follow me regularly, check in tomorrow to see my reply to this comment (and all those who agree with it). I’m gonna have some fun,” the post was captioned.

PAULINA: ‘I POST BIKINI AND NUDE PHOTOS BECAUSE I FINALLY FEEL GOOD IN MY SKIN’
In a second Instagram post dedicated to the comment, Paulina expressed that women should not have to “retire” after “breeding” to nourish her family.
“Yesterday’s comment of one @jamesorvinis only important insofar as to highlight the still common belief THAT WOMEN ARE ESSENTIALLY CHATTEL. That once we have stopped breeding, we should be retired to provide nourishment for others,” she wrote.
“I’m 56, and living my best life. After a lifetime spent taking care of others, I finally get to do ME. Sure, I can also knit and bake and bask in the warm glow of my family on the rare occasion they need me, but I can also bask in the glow of a tropical sun, a lover’s arms, and here the fabulous light of @luigiandIango,” she continued.
She went on to explain that she posts bikini and nude photos because she is finally comfortable in her skin.
“I post bikini and nude photos because I finally feel good in my skin,I don’t do this for compliments or likes. (Although they are very nice indeed). I’m doing it because you see thousands of images of younger women in the same situations. That’s what you’re used to seeing. No one tells them to put their clothes on,” continued Paulina.
“By what standard is it ok to ogle a nude teen, but not a mature woman? I have done the same sort of photos since I was fifteen. Back then, I couldn’t be proud of who I was because I didn’t yet know who I was. I did what others asked of me. I posed for others,” she added.
