MÖTLEY CRÜE/SIXX: A.M. bassist NIKKI SIXX is flummoxed after pictures that he posted from his upcoming photography book, This is Gonna Hurt (out April 12th), on his Facebook page were deleted.
In a “celebrity interview” at Canadian Music Week in Toronto on Thursday afternoon, Sixx said he was sent notices to refrain from doing so then he posted a picture of a transgendered man, who was in the process of becoming a woman.
“He has breasts and they pulled that and said no female nudity,” said Sixx, in front of a packed audience in a ballroom at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. “And I thought, ‘Okay, we’re on to something here, someone is asleep at the wheel.”So Sixx posted the new Sixx: A.M. single, 'Lies Of The Beautiful People', which has no nudity.
“But it does have a model who half of her face is melted off and she’s extremely beautiful,” he said. “They then deleted that and told me if I do it again, that they’re going to delete my account and I reached out to my lawyers and said, ‘I don’t really feel that’s fair to stop somebody from trying to spread a positive message when they’re not even really manning the ship.’”Sixx thinks Facebook is showing a double standard.
“It feels to me that they’re allowing inappropriate photos of very young girls and boys a lot of them in their teens, but they’re telling me that I we can’t put up this photo of a single that’s on Amazon and iTunes. So I kind of just did a little blast out to the fans and wanted their input. And it was amazing because 200,000 fans all changed their profile to that picture. It was a pretty nice ‘F--k you.’”Click here to read the rest of the article.
