Monica Geuze lashes out at nude photo spreaders

Let's give a round of applause for Monica. I just opened her Instagram Stories where a clear statement is displayed. She is done with all the people who claim to have nude photos of her. The first thing I think: wow, I never have to deal with that. The second? Okay, that’s honestly pretty harsh if everyone thinks that’s you.

“There’s again an account with a so-called ‘nude photo of me’. Let me start by saying that I am not the person in the photo, but honestly, that doesn’t even matter,” she writes in her Stories. “I have no idea who the girl in the photo is, but using this kind of photo to gain more followers on your own Instagram is really unacceptable to me. Regardless of whether she might ‘look like me’ from far away.” I couldn’t agree more, Mo. Can I call you Mo?
She goes a bit further: “You’re not making the life of the person in the photo any easier in any way, and you gain nothing from it yourself. This also applies to everyone who shares it, whether that’s on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or WhatsApp.”

In case you missed it: even in June, the vlogger had to make a statement to her followers. “There was once a vlog where I stood in front of the mirror in my bikini. After that, people made a photo of it and photoshopped my bikini away,” she said then. Monica, for the first time, I won’t even bother to see which photo it would be about. Because if I’ve learned anything in the past few months, it’s that the ‘searchers’ might be just as bad as the spreaders.

Honestly, have you never sent a sexy photo to someone? Wouldn’t you be mortified if that image gets forwarded to someone else? Are you then forever the-girl-from-the-nude-photo?! Hopefully not recognizable for you and me, but for enough women it is. In fact: it ruins lives. Are we finally going to stop this lame cyberbullying and grow up? Seems like a good plan. Bye.
