The comedian took to Instagram to post a photo of herself topless while riding a horse, juxtaposing this racy image with a similar photo made famous by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Anything a man can do, a woman has the right to do better. #kremlin," Handler captioned the picture.
But Instagram quickly removed the image, citing its policy on nudity, which only incensed the lewd talk show host.
"If a man posts a photo of his nipples, it's ok, but not a woman? Are we in 1825?" Handler wrote in another Instagram message.
Handler then re-published the nude photo on Twitter and wrote along with it: "Taking this down is sexist. I have every right to show I have a better body than Putin."
The comedian, of course, is no stranger to getting naked on social media.
In August, she stripped down on Instagram to mock the Kardashians.
Meanwhile, she added the racy picture to Instagram a second time, daring the website to violate her First Amendment rights.
"If instagram takes this down again, you're saying Vladimir Putin Has more 1st amendment rights than me. Talk to your bosses,” she wrote.
So Instagram went ahead and yanked down the photo a second time... then reinstated it... and then deleted it a third time, all within an hour.
