If Nicki Minaj can get naked why not me? Porn star Kendra Sunderland slams Instagram after bans
Porn star Kendra Sunderland, popularly known as 'Library Girl', has slammed the hypocrisy of Instagram deleting her several times for posting racy pictures, while allowing pop stars like Nicki Minaj get away with it. In an opinion piece for The Daily Beast, the porn star wrote how she either got suspended or shadow banned frequently on the platform.
Sunderland said it all started in 2020 around Christmas time when her alter ego, who goes by the name 'Bendra', switched to her 'naughty' side for Santa. She joked around and mentioned that her behavior wouldn't have any consequences as the CEO of Instagram was "her lover". Apparently, things got too serious and her account with over 2 million followers was wiped out, just like that.

She claims she was tipsy and said, "Hey guys! I just wanna let you know I’m not deleted yet. I’m batshit crazy. I might be sucking off the CEO of Instagram. But whatever it is, I’m here to stay!"
Meanwhile, Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj turned 39 on December 8. The artist is known for going all out and something as significant as her birthday would definitely be no less! Posing with a cake from @robins_robin, Nicki was captured wearing a deep red G-string lingerie set. In the second image, she was seen posing completely naked while straddling a large teddy bear. While fans wished her a happy birthday, adult film actress Sunderland spoke up about the apparent injustice of Instagram allowing the image on its platform.
She went on to explain that Instagram is one of the largest social media platforms and sex workers play a crucial role in bringing the app on the map. Currently on her fourth account (@therealkslibrarygirl ), Kendra shared how she is frequently shadow banned and her account is yet to be verified. Since her account isn't verified there are plenty of fake IDs being created every day and when a user searches for "Kendra Sunderland", more often than not, they will be bombarded with random accounts and search results.
These fake profiles don't just impact Kendra but also her fans. Further in her article, she says, "I am no longer verified and I am shadow-banned, while dozens of fake Kendra Sunderland accounts pop up every day pretending to be me, not only ruining how I make a living but ripping off my fans monetarily and emotionally."
In one of her meet-and-greets, a fan walked up to Kendra to share how after talking with her he felt better. Kendra said,"I had a fan come to one of my feature dance performances. Upon meeting me at my meet-and-greet, he started going on and on about our supposed relationship, how close we have become, and how glad he was that I was feeling better. Apparently, this poor guy was corresponding with a person pretending to be me on an intimate level, sent this fake a lot of money, and even had a wellness check done when the fake Kendra disappeared. This hurts my heart so much. I think it’s part of the reason why I’m not doing any kind of tours at the moment."
Talking more about this partiality, she said that once she reposted an image of her that Playboy had put up on their IG. Kendra's repost was deleted but Playboy's wasn't.
She also spoke about the multiple times Instagram deleted her accounts without any explanation. She agrees that her posts may contain nudity but she also openly compared her posts with that of the Kardashians, Cardi B, and other celebrities. Kendra says the levels of nudity are very similar and called out the hypocrisy of not getting a chances to plead her case either.
