Chelsea Handler New Topless Photo Aims to Bring Jews & Muslims Together
Chelsea Handler has never been shy of her body - in fact, she is proud of it and flaunts it on a regular basis. The feminist comedian believes that no matter which god you're praying for, breasts will always be appreciated by men, which is why she posted topless photos of herself on Instagram, this time, according to TMZ, with Israeli flag pasties on each of her breasts - in an effort to bring peace to the Middle East.
The 39-year-old was riding a camel, topless except for her pasties, with black slacks and black boots. She captioned the photo, "A Muslim allowed a topless Jew to sit on his camel. And we say we can't live side by side? I say we try and we can and we will. And, You don't even have to be topless. L'chaim,"
According to The Jerusalem Post, the former "Chelsea Lately" host was in Israel over the weekend as she performed in a fund raiser in Tel Aviv to support the Sheba Medical Center's Tal Center for Integrative Oncology. She also filmed a one-on-one interview with former Israeli president Shimon Peres. Sources on The Hollywood Reporter also said that Handler was a guest of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate's Peres Center for Peace. The interview included a tour of the facilities, as well as the former statesman's personal library.
Handler has been busy lately, considering that some parts of her visit are planned to be part of a few documentary specials to be aired on Netflix, and her visits and duties could be part of the talk show and docuseries deal, which is set to begin in 2016.
According to the Washington Times, Handler has done a topless photo before, when she poked fun at Russian president Vladimir Putin, when she posted a photo of herself on Instagram, rifing a horse on top of a snow-covered mountain, exposing bare breasts. The photo was made controversial when it was removed several times by the social media app.
Handler also became a proponent of the #FreeTheNipple campaign alongside Miley Cyrus and Cara Delevigne as it protests Instagram's anti-nudity policy as well as stigmas against nudity in general.
For the rest of her stay, the Jewish TV show host has been enjoying a bit of her history, posting a more covered-up photo on Instagram, captioning it, "Homelanding in my homeland with my jugs in my jacket. #RESPECT."
