However, the Czech-born former fashion model took time out on Wednesday to write a lengthy response to a hater who called out her recent topless snap.

A few days into the new year, the “No Filter” author took to Instagram to share a topless photo of herself looking out a window through the curtains. She posed with her hands in front of her chest while holding her hair back from her face. The definition in her toned stomach was clearly visible as she covered her lower body in a pair of black panties.
In the caption, Paulina wrote, “New Year yawns wide open. I greet naked. Because I have nothing to hide. I’m finally comfortable in my own skin. I don’t need a shield when I’m armed with my experience and the wisdom that they brought.”

“All excellent things are confined within this body and are not visible outside. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. That’s what makes me stand tall and proud – even when I’m not dressed,” she ended her post with the hashtags #betweenjloandbettywhite, #greypride and #betterontheinside.
Many fans had nothing but support for his furious snap. “Thank you for being yourself. And for helping all of us 50+ women feel like we don’t have to cover up too,” commented one fan. “You’re more beautiful than you were when you were 17,” wrote another follower. “Totally beautiful from tip to toe feet to nose, from heart to min!!” a third fan shared Unfortunately, it seems not everyone is a fan of the photo.
Paulina Responds To User Who Says She Contributes To ‘Objectifying Women’

On Wednesday evening, Paulina took to Instagram to share a screenshot of a comment she wanted to respond to. “Don’t know why women still think that taking their clothes off constantly is a requirement to make a statement about aging- or anything else,” the comment began. “You don’t see men taking off their pants to express how ‘brave’ they are about getting older.”
“Once again, a beautiful woman feels compelled to reveal herself. When you’re a 5′ 10” 120-pound supermodel, this is no big deal,” the comment continued. “Only contributes to the objectification of women and presents a reality that is very unattainable for most of us.”

However, Paulina felt that she “celebrated” her body more than contributed to its “objectification.” In the caption, he admitted, “This comment is true, albeit a bit misguided.”
He continued to say, “What is true, is that my bikini or nude photos get more traffic on social media than other types of photos. It is also true that men do not put themselves in their underwear to express how brave they are to age. “

“BUT. There are plenty of pictures of topless men who feel pretty good about themselves, and none of them provoke outrage at their self-exposure,” he continued. “For me, choosing to pose – clothed or unclothed – for a painting, sculpture or photo is a celebration of the physical self. But portraying a woman as a ‘5’10, 120 pound super model’ is objective.”
“It depicts a woman as livestock, just like the ‘67.3″ 1200 pound Holstein cow. It also shames him for using his body as he sees fit,” he said. “No problem has ever been put to men. So, of course, men don’t need to express their courage to go undressed. So, even if true, in the end, this review exemplifies the objectivity he’s fighting against.”

Her followers had mixed feelings about the comment, but most shared their support for Paulina’s position. “I feel like the person who left that comment needs to do more work on himself to feel so threatened by such a picture,” commented one fan. “I love when I see women, especially in my age demographic or older express themselves in such a way. It’s liberating and relatable.”
“I don’t understand why people feel the need to weigh in on every topic,” another follower added. “If it doesn’t affect you directly, keep it moving.”
