April 26 (UPI) -- Erika Jayne sent her "love" Tuesday to critics of her latest nude photo.

The 45-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and Dancing with the Stars alum laughed off backlash after sharing a naked picture earlier in the day on Instagram.

"Me reading your negative comments," she captioned a gif of herself making an exasperated face. "Sending my love to you all."

Jayne was expecting a negative reaction when she posted a completely nude photo with strategically-placed star emojis. She said her creative director, Mikey Minden, was responsible for the picture.

"Mikey made me do it... Miami nights," the star wrote. "1. This is my pre DWTS body 2. I am not currently in Miami but am in NYC 3. I posted this knowing most of you would be judgmental and couldn't resist a chance to tear me down and I was right. 4. Go be offended at your own life. 5. I'm living my life to the fullest."

Me reading your negative comments 😂 Sending my love to you all ❤️

Jayne, who was eliminated last week on Dancing with the Stars, came under fire during the competition for being "too sexy." She explained on The Ellen DeGeneres Show prior to her exit that she was just being herself.

"I think we as women are held to a little bit different standard than men on the show," the star said. "I don't think you should stop being yourself at all. I'm Erika Jayne in the ballroom, and there you go."

Jayne has starred on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since Season 6. The Bravo series co-stars Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Eileen Davidson and Dorit Kemsley.
