ELSA RESPONDS TO BACKLASH
Taking to her Instagram story on Wednesday 15 September, Elsa Hosk shared a lengthy post in response to the backlash she had been receiving. She began by saying that this is a normal thing.
“Wow. Posting a picture where I’m with my baby naked is not child pornography. It’s a normal thing,” wrote Hosk on Instagram.
“If some sick person on the internet thinks it’s porn that’s that person’s problem not mine. refuse to live my life according to or in fear of sick people on the internet. I don’t live in that fear,” she continued.
She went on to explain that she grew up in Sweden where being naked was “normal” and she had been naked in beaches and public.
“Growing up in Sweden I was naked ALL the time, at beaches, at home, in public,…it was so natural to us and we were not taught that our bodies were something you had to hide away in fear of what strangers might think. I think it created a very healthy relationship to nudity and to my own body,” she added.
