AceShowbiz - Amber Rose has finally addressed her controversial Instagram snap, which finds her baring her unshaven crotch. In a recent interview with Refinery 29, the buxom model claimed that she attempted to break social taboo about female sexuality and promote body positivity through the explicit pic.
"I had them Photoshop out of my tattoos to focus on the bush alone," she said. "I feel like as women, we always feel like we need to shave or wax--and if we don't, then we're considered unkempt or unclean or we're gonna smell funny. I believe it's natural and we shouldn't be ashamed of it."
She continued, "People are very uncomfortable with the female body. It's OK to leak images onto the internet and people are like, 'Yeah, that's so cool.' But if you actually do it yourself and in a way that's owning your own sexuality, it's almost taboo."
Amber shared that her NSFW photo was meant to promote her annual Slutwalk, which will be held in early October. "I go far and beyond to piss people off on purpose. That's what I do to bring awareness to Slutwalk and what's going on," she added. "The fact that there are double standards, that women are not allowed to own their sexuality and their bodies. We can't possibly be sexually confident, because then we're whores. We're not allowed to have a past. We're incapable of love if we're too beautiful or if we're too successful. It's all really, really f**ked up."
She also addressed her Twitter war with Piers Morgan over her bottomless photo. "I wanted to prove a point, and of course arguing with Piers Morgan, who is such a d**k... That's why I kept going back and forth with him," she explained. "I posted a picture of Adam Levine with a woman grabbing his d**k and balls, and Piers was like, 'You know that's different because that was for testicular cancer'--so that's okay. Men feel like they can do whatever, and show their bodies off constantly, but we can't--that's bulls**t."
