Actress Donna D'Errico is speaking out against Instagram after the social media platform flagged her content for "nudity."

The "Baywatch" star poses in bikinis, swimsuits, lingerie, and will occasionally go topless, but it's all to promote her OnlyFans content and she never posts anything that would trip Meta's sensitive filters.  Although she has faced trouble from Meta "shadowbanning" her in the past, she took to her Instagram Stories on Monday to let her fans know that a lot of posts were being flagged for inappropriate content.

On Monday, the “Frank and Penelope” actress took to her Instagram Stories to share a screenshot from Instagram that showed several of her posts being flagged for nudity. “Your post may go against our guidelines on sexual activity or nudity” read the alert on posts dated August 16, August 4, and June 28. Instagram advised her to “Consider editing or removing this content. It may take up to 24 hours for your account to be okay for recommendation again.”

Underneath the screenshot, Donna wrote, “IG is relentlessly targeting my account ever since I publicly spoke out about their extreme censorship. They constantly shadowban my account based on photos I post where I am completely covered up with no nudity. Thousands of accounts on here with total nudity in their posts but if I post in a bathing suit I’m flagging. F*cking ridiculous.”

“Those last 3 were flagged as being nude by IG and caused a shadowban on my account,” she explained on another slide. “Go back and look again. Where’s the nudity IG?”

“Type ‘nude’ into the search and hundreds of nude accounts come up with full nudity,” she continued. “So those are okay but me in a bathing suit is not?? I’m being unfairly targeted.”

On August 16, Donna took to Instagram to celebrate her 1-year OnlyFans anniversary with a montage of her top photos from the past year.  In the caption, Donna wrote, “Sweet dreams are made of this. Happy one-year anniversary to meeee!! Check the link in my bio for something very special all day today.” She capped off her post with the hashtags “link in bio,” “sweet dreams,” and “anniversary fun.” Unfortunately, the video has since been deleted.

The previous year, Donna explained what she would, and would not, post on her OnlyFans page, where she explained that she wouldn’t be showing full nudity there either. “What you will see: Bikini and lingerie modeling pics, outtakes from magazine editorials, me doing funny things in bikinis because I have such an incredible sense of humor yet am also so humble, new and vintage bts photos & videos, and whatever else I decide I want to post,” she wrote. “What you will not see: My hoo-ha. What I don’t want to see: Your manhood.”

The photo of Donna taking a shower in a white swimsuit on Sunday night is still up, but it looks like Donna might need to switch over to X, formerly known as Twitter, to avoid Meta's strict regulations!

She also pointed out that the regulations that apply to her don’t seem to apply to other people. “Their regulations aren’t that strict if they’re allowing other accounts to post full nudity showing genitalia but flagging posts of me wearing dresses and one-piece swimsuits are fully covered,” she wrote. “I’m being unfairly targeted.”

Judging by the screenshots Donna has been sharing, it does look like she has been unfairly targeted. Fans have provided an outpouring of support for the actress and hope that the matter gets resolved soon!
