Former NASCAR and IndyCar driver Danica Patrick slammed Instagram for censoring one of the pictures she posted before. She posted a story highlighting what took place.

In a story she shared she mentions, “An entire post was taken down by IG because of this pic, a 2-year-old playing naked in the river. WTF is going on with the way shit is censored?!”

The picture shared showed a few kids playing in the river. Albeit one kid was seen stark naked bottoms-out standing in the right of the frame. Instagram supposedly took down the picture in accordance with their rules and regulations.

But Danica was not pleased by the action taken by the social media giant. However, another assumption could be of people flagging the post as inappropriate.

Regardless of the circumstances, the internet is full of weird people. Even though Danica might think that the image may seem innocent, the social media giant could have thought otherwise. What exactly happened is a matter of speculation as there was no official statement or message from Instagram regarding the incident.

Danica Patrick speaks about her breakup with Aaron Rodgers

The couple dated for a good two years before parting ways in 2020. It was only in 2021 that Danica opened up about the split and as to how it affected her life.

During an interview, Danica said, “I think we learn the most about ourselves through relationships. There’s nothing like heartbreak to really throw you in the deep end of that. I’ve learned a lot and as broken open as I was on the sad end. I have felt so much joy in so many more instances and so many more unlikely places than I ever have. So it’s like my heart got broken open to both ends of the spectrum.”

Adding, “It’s about finding someone that has that kind of quality and that also fits you in so many ways. The other part is, you know, you’ve got to like doing everything together.”
