A glamour model dubbed "too sexy for Instagram" has likened having her account shut down to Doctor Dao's removal from United Airlines in April. Elle Johnson, from Park City, Utah, has spoken out after she was banned from the social media site due to a "violation of community guidelines", reports Dailymail.
 
The model, who shares sultry photos with her fans, took to Twitter on Tuesday tweeting: "Booted off #Instagram again! They treat models like #United treated Dr. Dao. Not the physical abuse part-the random get off the plane part!"
 
Elle first had her account blocked in January this year after it was reported to Instagram and since happening a second time in 2017 the outspoken model has drawn in further publicity. One publication, EveryJoe, dubbed her "too sexy" for the social media site while Maxim referred her as "too hot to handle".
 
After the supposed violation was investigated Elle's account, which boasts 418,000 followers, was reactivated on Friday.
 
Elle says she has been left bemused as to why her account was disabled as, despite her risqué shots, she complies with the site's guidelines.
 
Speaking to the MailOnline Elle said: "Instagram's Community Guidelines tell members that they 'don't allow nudity.'
 
It's weird but the guidelines don't allow only 'some photos of female nipples.' So some nipples are okay and others aren't?"
 
"The problem is that there is selective enforcement of Instagram's Community Guidelines. Some Instagram posters are clearly off limits. Other aren't. All community members are equal, but some members are more equal than others."
 
Elle believes that her snaps are a lot tamer than some of those that are permitted on Instagram. She continued: "There are a lot of Instagram models out there. I don't think I'm on the high end of the racy scale."

"But I'm certainly not on the low end. If the racy scale is the Spinal Tap 1-11, I'm probably around an 8."
