LOS ANGELES, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Bad Gal Riri is back on Instagram.

Rihanna re-activated her account on the image sharing site Sunday about six months after she quit Instagram over its tight nudity policies.

The 26-year-old singer alluded to her return to the site in her first four posts, which were an upside down selfie titled "Hellurrr #badgalback," a drawing of her holding hands with the Instagram logo, a screen grab of a CNN article announcing her return to the site and an illustration that features her carrying Instagram, Vevo, a dollar bill and her haters on a leash.

Instagram threatened to disable Rihanna's account in late March after the singer shared several semi-nude photos from her Lui magazine cover. In early May, the site apologized for having "mistakenly" disabled her account and reinstated it, but the singer stopped sharing photos until Sunday.

Bruce Willis' daughter Scout and comedian Chelsea Handler have also criticized the image sharing site for its "sexist" and strict policies when it comes to female nudity.
