Adult film star Kendra Sunderland banned from Instagram over claims of affair with CEO

Adult film star Kendra Sunderland cries foul after social media site ban over violating policy

Adult film star Kendra Sunderland's Instagram account was removed by Instagram after she drunkenly joked she could post content that goes against the social media platform's policy rules because she allegedly had an affair with CEO Adam Mosseri.

The 25-year-old actor made the remarks after she posted a topless image of herself which was not taken down for several weeks.

"Hey guys! I just wanna let you know I'm not deleted yet," she said in an Instagram story.

"I'm bats**t crazy. But whatever it is, I'm here to stay."

Instagram has denied Sunderland has any connection to Mosseri or any other executive at the company.

They also denied she received preferential treatment after social media users claimed they tried to flag her content but were informed it didn't violate Instagram's rules.

In an interview, Sunderland said she was intoxicated when she made the claims about Mosseri.

'We all want the same freedom on social media and we all want the discrimination against sex workers to stop. But I hope that u find some sort of satisfaction or happiness to know that my account was disabled,' she tweeted.

"I’m also always blocked from posting on Tik Tok for stupid things other people get away with. These apps clearly target sex workers and I am not exempt. Still going to keep fighting tho for myself & for other sex workers."

Instagram has since said it was a mistake that Sunderland's content was allowed to stay up.

"Over a billion people use Instagram and at times that means we make mistakes. This account violated our policies and we've now removed it," an Instagram spokesperson said.

"This person has no connection to executives at our company, and claims that she received preferential treatment are baseless."
