A grocery chain has pulled a magazine featuring nude photos of Miranda Kerr on the cover because they deemed it “inappropriate.”
The 32-year-old model stripped down to her birthday suit for the January issue of Harper’s Bazaar Australia. Now, Coles supermarkets are refusing to sell the edition. (RELATED: Miranda Kerr’s Nude Cover Is So Scandalous It Should Come With A Warning)
“In response to feedback from our customers, many of whom shop with their children, we removed the magazine from sale earlier this week,” a representative for the store said in a statement.
“We didn’t think the cover was appropriate for our stores so the decision was made.”
The editor-in-chief of the magazine said she was “disappointed” by the store’s decision. (PHOTOS: Miranda Kerr Is Just Teasing Everyone With These Bikini Photos)
“I have had so much positive feedback from around the globe, it is a shame Coles does not also recognize the artistic integrity of this image,” Kellie Hush said.
“We’re now living in an era of Victoria’s Secret Angels, stolen nude photos and attempts to break the Internet with reality stars in provocative poses.” (SLIDESHOW: 15 Stunning Photos Of Miranda Kerr)
