Joe Rogan slams Instagram ban of model raising funds for Australia fires Joe Rogan has taken aim at Instagram\u2019s decision to deactivate Kaylen Ward\u2019s account, after the model now known as the Naked Philanthropist raised an estimated $1 million for the Australian bushfires by trading explicit images. Just four days after first announcing her explicit photo-driven charity efforts, where she would trade images of herself naked for $10 donations for the victims of Australia\u2019s bushfire crisis, Ward has already raised an estimated $1 million. Although Ward was widely praised, Instagram was less than pleased, and pulled the plug on her 60,000-follower account for \u201cviolating policies.\u201d The social media giant later confirmed the ban offense was for \u201coffering nude images\u201d on the platform. Rogan discussed the interesting way the Naked Philanthropist was raising money for the bushfire crisis during Episode 1,406 of his talk show, and called for Instagram to \u201chave her back on\u201d the platform because of her fundraising efforts. \u201cShe\u2019s doing a lot of good, she\u2019s raised that much money to help the Australian wildfire and then they deactivated her account,\u201d Rogan said, and added he thought it was wrong. \u201cLet her back Instagram, she said she\u2019s going to give the money to charity and she didn\u2019t show the picture.\u201d Rogan and his co-hosts added that Instagram may have been inclined to remove the image and idea from their platform because they \u201cweren\u2019t getting a cut,\u201d but the talk-show host did add that he felt that was \u201ca little cynical.\u201d They then brought up a few images of Ward, including her original tweet. While Rogan did add he was impressed with how much she had raised for the bushfire crisis so far, his main take away was that Instagram should \u201clet her be naked.\u201d \u201cLet her be naked. Why are you stopping her from being naked for you creeps?\u201d Rogan said. \u201cYou know, that girl does not have a lot of hobbies. She must have free time. Oh, she\u2019s only 20? Poor girl, she doesn\u2019t know what she\u2019s doing yet.\u201d For mobile readers, the related segment in the video below begins at 0:27. Rogan may not have missed the mark by suggesting Ward wasn\u2019t prepared for the influx of interest in her photos and the charity drive either \u2014 the model admitted to The Guardian she had \u201cfallen into a rabbit hole\u201d since her first tweet. Ward, who already shares images similar to the now-famous one circulating the internet as a way to make money, sent her first tweet at 10pm on January 3. By the time she woke up the next morning, she had nearly hit $100,000. \u201cIt quickly just blew up before I knew it,\u201d she explained. \u201cI have a girl doing analysis on it and she\u2019s calculated I\u2019m getting about 10 legitimate donations per minute, and that\u2019s only $10 donations too. Some people have donated way more.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/lilearthangelk\/status\/1213701836517126144 The explosion of popularity, and Instagram\u2019s decision to flick her from their social media service for her efforts, has created a new problem for Ward too. Without a way back onto the site, others have begun impersonating her. \u201cEvery time I try to make a new account it\u2019s deactivated, and what\u2019s concerning is there are a few fake accounts who are impersonating me that haven\u2019t got deleted,\u201d she said. \u201cPeople are stealing my identity through Instagram.\u201d He may not have known it, but Rogan may have been asking for exactly what Ward needs at this moment, so hopefully, the massive YouTube star calling out the Facebook-owned site may help her get her account back online. According to the NSW RFS, who are fighting on the main fronts against the fires, more than 100 separate incidents are still burning across the central state alone, with thousands of people already forced out of their coastal and inland homes. If you would like to help those affected by the bushfire crisis, and support those fighting the infernos, you can donate to the Australian Red Cross foundation, the Salvation Army, as well as the Rural Fire Service directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
