American model and TV star Brooks Nader has responded with four words after topless photos of her went viral online.

Nader, who stars in reality TV show Love Thy Nader alongside her three sisters, faced backlash last week after she was photographed topless on a yacht during a family holiday in Italy.

One image in particular, showing Nader casually relaxing topless on a boat beside her father, drew criticism, with some commentators questioning whether it was appropriate to have her bare chest out around family.

The images were taken in Sardinia and sparked debate online, with some questioning whether it was appropriate for Nader to expose herself in front of her family.

“Free the nip: not weird. Free the nip in front of dad: weird as f***,” one person commented.

Another wrote: “This is beyond comprehension. Why would you go TOPLESS in front of your FATHER?!”

However, many social media users defended Nader, pointing out attitudes towards nudity and topless sunbathing can differ across Europe.

“She’s in Europe, relax,” one supporter wrote.

Days later, Nader was photographed again, this time wearing only white bikini bottoms and oversized black sunglasses.

On Friday, she appeared to respond to the online outrage by reposting images, originally shared by Page Six, of herself jumping into the ocean fully dressed.

“Are we happy now?” Nader, who stars in the upcoming Baywatch reboot, captioned the post.

The images showed the model swimming in a black dress, heels and sunglasses, seemingly poking fun at the backlash over her earlier yacht photos.
