Simone Holtznagel has been praised by her fans for posing a breastfeeding selfie on her social media. The model shared the glamorous image on Instagram on Monday, in which she feeds her baby daughter Gia (pictured).
“What a stunning photo of a beautiful mom and her beautiful baby girl,” someone else commented.
Alex Perry left a simple love heart while one more said: ‘And feeding that baby too.’ Absolute dominion of women’.
It comes after Australian lingerie brand Nala responded to Meta after Instagram removed a photo of Holtznagel breastfeeding her daughter Gia.
The post, which emerged as part of Nala’s bold new campaign, was flagged for “nudity or sexual activity” by Meta’s automated systems.
But rather than back down, the Melbourne-based brand has now fought back, standing up for women’s rights and the normalization of breastfeeding in public.
In response to the removal, Nala reposted the image, along with a screenshot of Meta’s report, which stated that the post violated its nudity guidelines.
The image received overwhelming support from Nala’s followers, with hundreds of comments calling Meta’s decision outdated and sexist.
The brand appealed the removal, and after significant backlash, Meta reinstated the original image carousel, which now has the bold title: “No Edits, No Apologies.”
Her fans were quick to praise her post, with one person calling her ‘Wonder Woman.’
“Advertising reflects our society, and suggesting that certain content should be restricted implies that it should also be hidden in real life,” a Nala spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia.
‘There is nothing inappropriate about displaying a woman’s body, especially when she is feeding her baby. Breastfeeding is natural and it is time to normalize it.’
The campaign, titled Sorry To Offend You, is designed to challenge the stigma around breastfeeding in public and celebrate the beauty of motherhood.
Simone, known for her appearance on Australia’s Next Top Model, is the face of the campaign, which features her breastfeeding her five-month-old daughter Gia in public places in Melbourne.
The powerful campaign also marked the first time Simone and her young daughter Gia were photographed together for a solo photoshoot.
However, just five days after Nala posted the images, Meta’s AI system automatically flagged them for violating their nudity policy, leading to their removal.
Nala appealed the decision and, after an outpouring of support, the content was reviewed by a human moderator, who deemed the images appropriate.
Since then, social media users have rallied behind Nala and Simone, with fans flooding the comments to show their support for the campaign and criticize Meta for her initial decision.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Meta for comment.
Simone welcomed her daughter Gia with personal trainer Jono Castano on Easter Sunday, but the couple has since gone their separate ways.
The couple had a bitter split just nine weeks after welcoming Gia, with Jono publicly confirming their split in July.
“Who knows what the future holds, our idea is simply to be the best parents for Gia at this stage,” he told Daily Mail Australia in a statement at the time.
simon then said stellar magazine that she “couldn’t change” the man she thought she loved when she broke her silence in August.
‘I wanted to set an example for my daughter; That’s something that changed for me. One day I thought, “What am I doing? This is not right.” And I would hate for her to ever be in this situation,” he said.
‘You have to do what’s right for you at the end of the day. No matter how many promises or anything else people do, when they show you who they are, believe them. Because you can’t change people.’
Simone said she is happy to be raising her baby, Gia, five months, alone, and is confident she made the right decision.
“I have never felt more confident about anything. And I know I can do it alone. “It’s a shame I have to do it alone, but I couldn’t really think any other way,” she said.
‘What I’m doing seems very good to me. The most important thing for me is that Gia is happy and healthy, and that I am happy too.
‘Because I firmly believe that if the mother is unhappy, it is difficult to have a happy child. And I feel like Gia right now is a reflection of me, as she is a very content and happy bubbly little girl.”
