Piers Morgan and Amber Rose have become embroiled in a spat on Twitter after the US model shared a racy image of herself naked from the waist down.
Amber, 33, posted a picture on social media of herself wearing only a bikini top and an open coat and showing her pubic hair, to urge women to embrace a more natural look.

Journalist Piers urged her to “put it away, luv” after seeing the image, insisting Amber’s claim to be baring her body in the name of feminism was “ridiculous”.
His comment sparked a war of words between the pair.
Amber hit back that he was being “misogynistic”.
Piers then responded: “It’s not ‘misogyny’ to think that posting nude photos in the supposed name of feminist empowerment is pathetic attention-seeking…”
But Amber was not letting it go.
Nude? Where? My breast nor my vagina was showing and my legs were closed https://t.co/ZD0dZzwAWc

I am assuming you are referring to the pubic hair that was shown in the picture. Uncomfortable? Get over it. https://t.co/ZD0dZzwAWc

I can handle your naked body, Amber – relax.
I just can’t handle your ridiculous claim to be stripping off in the name of feminism. https://t.co/i0bAqNKbB1— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 11, 2017

The model initially shared her picture to promote her annual protest to raise awareness about sexual injustice and gender equality, but it was removed by Instagram.
She then posted a video of herself rolling her eyes telling Instagram everyone had already seen the image so deleting it did no good.
During her row with Piers, Amber posted a photograph of Maroon 5′s Adam Levine posing nude with a woman’s hand over his private parts and asked the TV star whether that was also “attention seeking”.
When Pier’s said Adam’s picture was to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancer, Amber said: “Smh I raise awareness for my foundation as well Piers.
“That’s like saying breast cancer awareness is cool but what about HIV and AIDS.”

Piers later posted an old image of himself nude, with just a skimpy piece of material protecting his modesty, in an ad for Burger King’s Flame cologne.
I am re-posting this in the name of male empowerment.

When Amber re-posted the image of herself on Twitter, Piers sniped: “THIS is what Emmeline Pankhurst fought so hard for? Jeez.”
