Playboy model Dani Mathers caused Internet outrage when she Snapchatted a photo of a naked woman at her gym with the caption, “If I can’t unsee this, you can’t either.”

Many have taken a stand against Mathers’ social media post, including pharmaceutical representative Christine Blackmon, who shared a naked photo of herself on her Delicate Flower Facebook page in response.

“About a month ago, I was changing to work out. I caught my husband taking my picture so I posed playfully due to the obvious absurdity of it all,” she wrote along with the photo in a post addressed to Mathers. “Later, I saw the picture and begged him to delete it. I hated it – all I saw were lumps and bumps. He simply smiled and softly said, ‘I think it’s beautiful.’ So I let him keep it.”

“Not all of us work out to be ‘hot,’ ” she continued. “Some of us work out simply to honor the bodies we were given. That’s all that woman was trying to do and you violated her. Shame on you.”

Mathers has apologized for her initial Snapchat post with an apology video on the media-sharing platform.

“That was absolutely wrong and not what I meant to do,” she said. “I know that body shaming is wrong. That is not the type of person I am.”

LA Fitness, the gym where the Snap was taken, has revoked Mathers’ membership, according to The Los Angeles Times.

The newspaper also reports that the Los Angeles Police are currently trying to find the woman whose photo Mathers took in the locker room shower. They need to find the victim in order to continue investigating a report from LA Fitness that the image was being illegally distributed, a misdemeanor offense.
