LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- Ireland Baldwin joined the fight to free the nipple Sunday on Instagram.

The 19-year-old model took to the social media site to share a topless photo of herself in Big Sur, Calif., writing, "Big Surr - No Reservations." Baldwin took care to cover her exposed nipple with a bee emoji due to Instagram's no female nipples policy.

"To be honest, I think that it's so effing stupid, because there are boobs and nipples all over Tumblr, all over Twitter, all over the world," she said of the ban to Cosmopolitan last year. "Just walk around and there are boobs all over life, and in great artwork, in classic paintings, and in sculptures; it's everywhere."

Model Chrissy Teigen, actress Scout Willis and television personality Chelsea Handler are among the other celebrities who have objected to the policy. Teigen had a picture from her topless W magazine shoot deleted in June before she skirted the ban with a strategically-shot snapshot.

Baldwin is the only daughter of actor Alec Baldwin and actress Kim Basinger, who were married from 1993 to 2002, and has modeled for W magazine and Vanity Fair. The teenager made headlines in April after she checked into a rehab facility seeking treatment for "emotional trauma."
