Minnie Driver hits back at bikini body criticism by posting naked photo on Twitter
SHE may have left Twitter temporarily following cruel comments that were made about her bikini body, but Minnie Driver is back with a bang.
The 44-year-old hit out at her critics yesterday when she posted a racy picture of herself naked which features in Allure magazine.
Minnie captioned the picture with: "If you want people to stop taking about how you look in a bikini, let them see you naked. It tends to shut them up:)"
The image also features US actress Kristen Bell in the nude in a feature which is about being comfortable in the skin that you're in.
Mother-of-one Minnie can be seen laying in shallow water as she holds one arm above her head and the ither across her chest to cover her modesty.
The sexy shot is sure to silence the "horrible" people who criticised her figure after she was photographed on the beach in Miami a few weeks ago.
Obviously, the British star is now back on Twitter following a brief hiatus, but before her break she tweeted on April 9: "God some people are horrible: you try being photographed when you don't know it's happening, when you're on holiday with your kids.
She then added: "I'm out of this Twittersphere for a while. It's too mean sometimes, about your body , about your soul. Not worth it."
These tweets have since been deleted from her account, but on Monday evening she was back in full force with help from a legendary philosopher.
"Right where was I? Oh yes -Aristotle: 'To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.' In deference to this, I think I'll carry on," she posted, before uploading the naked picture.
