‘A girl dressed scantily is not a s***': Exhibitionist Gabi Grecko defends her naked social media posts saying women are brainwashed to think nude is sexual

She’s famous for walking through the streets of Melbourne completely naked and regularly posts shots of herself in various states of undress onto her Instagram page.

And now Gabi Grecko, 25, who is engaged to 71-year-old Australian businessman Geoffrey Edelsten, has taken a stand for women who choose to show off their bodies in scantily clad outfits.

Her comments came as a fan told her on Instagram that she doesn’t get the ‘credit’ she deserves for showing women not to be afraid of showing off their bodies, adding that ‘everyone is perfect in their own special way.’

Gabi, who recently posed naked for Penthouse, responded by writing a lengthy post about her passion and support for women who opt to show off their bodies.

‘We should make our own choice about what we feel inclined to do and have the confidence to be wear [sic] or not wear whatever we choose.

‘It’s hard enough being a woman, we all make it a competition instead of patting each other on the backs and encouraging one another. 

'The double standards must stop and they are caused by not just women or men but both.

Tough times... On Friday afternoon 25-year-old model Gabi Grecko posted a sombre cry for help on Instagram after a family member passed away

‘We only live once. A girl dress [sic] scantily is not a s***, she is a human, a person, with feelings and aspirations.

‘Get to know someone before judging them and here’s a thought how about don’t judge them at all.’ 

This message cam after she revealed via Instagram that she was having a tough time.

The red-headed model shared a dramatic image of a series of sad face emojis next to the world 'help.'

Wedding time? On Thursday Gabi revealed her fiancé Geoffrey Edelsten's divorce from Brynne Edelsten will be finalised in the coming days, meaning she can finally marry her 71-year-old beau

Moments after publishing the worrying image, Gabi was inundated with concerned messages. 

'You've been in my prayers for ages,' one user comforted. 

'Stay strong. You WILL rise above whatever is casting this shadow over you,' another added. 

No doubt having to deal with a family member's passing may strike a chord for Gabi, who lost her father at the tender age of 12 from a fatal cocaine overdose. 

Speaking about the harrowing experience to Penthouse Magazine last month Gabi said: 'My mum didn't know how to tell me and she isn't very good at communication, so I found out about his death while we were driving to school one day.' 

'She just said: "Your dad died" and let me out of the car. We didn't talk about it or anything and I remember that I didn't cry. 

'I was left numb and confused for a long time and I feel that experience made me have no reaction to certain things, or have weird reactions.' 

Her downcast demeanour was a far cry from her mood the previous evening. 

Gabi revealed to DMA on Thursday she may finally be tying the knot with Geoff after his divorce from wife Brynne Edelsten is just days away from being finalised.
