Famous model and activist Paulina Porizkova found herself at the center of a social media firestorm after a photo of her boyfriend, Jeff Greenstein, holding her chest was allegedly released by Instagram.
Calling Instagram
Porizkova, 58, took to the platform to express her disappointment and disbelief at the removal of intimate images she shared with her 1.1 million followers. In her post, Porizkova accused Instagram of unfairly deleting her content, pointing out that the platform’s policies are inconsistent and discriminatory.
The photo, which was originally posted by Porizkova, captures an intimate moment between her and Greenstein, with her hand gently resting on her bare chest. While Porizkova saw the image as a celebration of love and intimacy, Instagram’s alleged removal of the photo sparked a debate about censorship and the boundaries of acceptable content on social media.
‘Social Taboo’
Porizkova was unrelenting in her criticism of Instagram, calling out the platform for what she considers a double standard in enforcing community guidelines.
“IG pulled a picture of me where my boyfriend’s hand was cupping my breast. In a way, it perfectly sums up my point about sex and older women being a social taboo,” the model captioned the post, alongside a photo of her wearing nothing but black underwear and sheer stockings under a fur coat .
Leave a Little to the Imagination
In a subsequent post, absent from her partner, Porizkova obscured her bare breasts with a black square, a symbolic gesture that may highlight her frustration with the perceived censorship of intimacy on social media platforms.
“So this is another one to illustrate my point. And this is what I mean again,” he continued his message. “Did you know that Anne Bancroft, who played the dangerous old lady Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate is 38 years old? And the young man she seduced, Dustin Hofmann, was 30 years old?”
Porizkova added, “Being desirable is having power. Power of consent. You have what everyone wants, and you have the power to give it to whomever you want. Male and female volition factors are on opposite sides of the age spectrum. A woman loses power with age – and a man gains it.”
Straightforward

“A picture of a young woman showing off her body may seem like an eye-catcher, but in the order of things – natural,” says Porizkova. “The picture of an old woman showing off her body is inappropriate, a desperate plea for attention where she will only look sad and pathetic.”
The Czechoslovakian beauty added, “Humans are one of the few species that have leisurely sex. Most of the time when we have sex, it’s for fun. (From what I’ve seen- the people who seem to enjoy sex the most are young men and older women.) So why is a sexy photo of a girl who doesn’t know much about sex better than a photo of a mature woman who knows all about it?”
Porizkova then ended her words with this statement: “It is the clearest indication of our patriarchal world where women are mostly valued as breeding stock.”
Fans Show Their Support
The incident prompted an outpouring of support for Porizkova from her followers, many of whom voiced her concerns about censorship and expressed solidarity with her cause.
“I remember when I first saw your photo and thought you really were the most beautiful model of them all. I’m 57 now…and still doing it!!” one commented, while another stated, “IG can be ridiculous. Sometimes I swear you are so beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful!!”
A third commenter added, “I thought I was going crazy! I was typing a message and it wouldn’t post? Loved the first picture you posted crazy it got removed!! Don’t know how old Anne and Dustin are I’ve seen the movie a few times!”
Upon checking, it appears that Instagram has reinstated a photo of Porizkova featuring her boyfriend, signaling a possible resolution to the controversy surrounding her removal.
