Instagram Influencer Created Backlash For Sharing Sexy Photos In Front Of Her Father's Casket

Being young, beautiful and healthy certainly has lots of advantages.

In the world where feminism is still around and men (and women) are scouting the web for sexy pictures that leave little to the imagination, it's relatively easier for women who post sexy photos of themselves to gain followers and Likes.

Netizens agree with this, especially on Instagram, because photos of women posing alluringly to get attention are more than plenty.

Netizens however, also agree that posing alluringly in front of father's open casket is "disrespectful."

Jayne Rivera, is an Instagram fitness and fashion influencer from Florida, U.S..

She appeared to post photos of her father's funeral on the social media platform. Nothing unusual, since users of Instagram do share lots of their daily activities on the platform.

But what's unusual is that, Rivera was on full make up, seen in a pair of long black heels, and a black single-sleeve, one-shoulder dress that exposed her cleavage.

She is also seen with black nail polish to match her outfit, and a hairdo to match the gold-colored buttons and her gold necklace.

Rivera that is seen wearing black stockings, posed with one of her legs in the air.

No puffy eyes here on the 20-year-old at all.

It's as if Rivera was modelling, and not like she was saying her last goodbye to her father.

And what made it worse for Rivera is that, the casket had the American flag draped across it, indicating that her late father was a veteran.

Users of social media platforms who spotted Rivera's photos scolded her with outrage.

Many asked Rivera to take down the photos, and some even begged her to delete them.

Some users who were particularly offended, include those who had recently lost their loved ones.

"My dad just passed a few weeks ago," explained one person.

"I could barely brush my hair for the services – let alone put in a full face of makeup, hair, and outfit for Instagram."

"Makes me sad for her, her dad, and her family."

Sooner than later, Rivera lost over 1,000 Instagram followers after the images were purportedly posted.

The virality of the photos also made its way to Twitter, where many users continued criticizing Rivera, dubbing her post as "disrespectful" among other things.

The racy photos of the woman at her father's funeral also made their way to Reddit, where Rivera gained even more harsh criticisms.

Some people speculated that the picture may have been "staged" to be purposefully controversial so that it would go viral and attract people to the influencer's page.

But since posting the photos, Rivera who has come under fire, had her Instagram account disabled.

Her account was disabled by Instagram just days after photos she took next to her father's casket went viral online.

According to an interview, Rivera said that Instagram disabled her account "with no reason given," two days after she posted photos from the funeral.

A spokesperson for Instagram later said that Rivera's account was removed for violating the platform's rules.

The spokesperson however, didn't explain what was the reason, nor specify which guidelines Rivera violated.

Rivera said that she "understood the negative reception" to her photos, but believes that her father would have "approved" of her actions, if he were still alive.

"It's my father, and I can post what I want with my father," she said. "My dad would not be mad. I think my dad is looking down rooting me on, saying that's my girl."

Rivera added that she took the photos with the "best intentions."

"There is nothing wrong with what I posted, and I stand by that."

"Everyone handles the loss of a loved one in their own ways; some are more traditional while others might come across as taboo. For me, I treated the celebration as if my father was right next to me, posing for the camera as he had done on many occasions prior," she added.

It was later reported that the name of Jayne Rivera father is Jose Antonio Rivera.

The 56-year-old war veteran who served in Afghanistan, died on October 11.
