On Friday, Lexi shared a photo of herself smiling while holding a large bouquet of flowers to her chest.
She posed with a large hat on her head and blue jeans on.
Instagram deleted her initial post, but she shared another similar photo.
The caption read: “Tap into the crazy underneath your wings✨
I had such an amazing time with this photo shoot for @glowtanninggj
Emily gives the best tans hands down! I’ve never felt more confident and empowered in a photo than the ones I’m sharing with you.
“It’s important to have a wonderful group of women to make you feel comfortable and I couldn’t thank anyone anymore than Glow Tanning, @ciaracgphotography and @livelashl
And of course all of the beautiful and stunning models.”
Lexi assured followers, and anyone else who might be concerned: “PS I have pasties on. Literally no nudity.”

In another comment, she spoke directly to those who apparently took issue with the photo and reported it.
She wrote: “Take a minute to please carefully look at this picture. You’re not just reporting a photo I’m in. You’re reporting and removing a photo of small business working together to create this photo shoot.
“That’s not fair to them. I beg you to remove me or block me if you don’t want to see it. The small business do NOT deserve you reporting and ultimately removing this photo. If you can’t handle it maybe you shouldn’t be on the internet.”
She was less kind on her Instagram Story, where she wrote: “Who ever reported my photo, ya moms a h**.”
In a second slide, she wrote: “Ps. If you can’t handle the beautiful photos of flowers and me topless, Please do me a favor and either unfollow me or block me cause I have a whole heck of a lot more to post.”
Lexi went on: “Thank you for all the support Instagram review it and reposted it for me, it definitely doesn’t meet any of the sexual activity guidelines.”
In a third Instagram Story slide, she slammed whoever reported her post, writing: “To the person who has nothing in their life better to do than report my photo repeatedly: You’re not just removing my photo. You’re removing the amazing women who worked hard for that photo.
“You’re removing the gorgeous tan work of my tan artist. You’re removing the beautiful lashes of my lash artist and you’re removing [fantastic] photography by a wonderful photographer. There are small businesses you’re removing. If you don’t like it, remove me because I will not let it stop me from posting.
She concluded: “I will not tolerate or address this any further. I will continue to post photos that do not violate community guidelines.”
SHOWING LOVE
Despite the drama, the comments were overwhelmingly positive.
Fiancé Kyler commented: “Yassssss girl slaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!”
A fan wrote: ” You look STUNNING!”
Another defended the post, writing: “People are reporting this photo? But yet Kendall jenner can pose completely topless in her Instagram posts and for some reason hers don’t get taken down. But your photo has no nudity whatsoever.”
ON DISPLAY
Lexi is no stranger to showing off her body and embracing body positivity online.
In July 2021, she posted a steamy snap in a thong bikini, drawing the eyes of fans and her beau.
In the first of a few snapshots, the Young and Pregnant star posed in a sexy leopard bathing suit as she posed with her arms around a tree.
In a second snap, the Teen Mom star appeared to be enjoying herself as she splashed around in a swimming pool.
In a third snap, Lexi teased her “amazing tan” as she posed next to the tree yet again.
The MTV star shared a quote from Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: “Buy the ticket. Take the ride.”
Kyler commented on the post: “I so want to touch it. I really do. I want to touch the butt.”
FOREVER AND ALWAYS
Lexi and Kyler got engaged in 2020.
She said yes after Kyler – whom she has two children with – popped the question atop of the Black Canyon in Colorado’s Gunnison National Park.
Lexi smiled from ear to ear as she cuddled close to Kyler in front of the panoramic backdrop.
She showed off her sparkling engagement ring – which Kyler admitted he pinned down at the last minute.
The MTV alum wrote: “My dream wouldn’t be complete without you in it,” followed by a yellow heart emoji.
Lexi later appeared on her Instagram Stories, clapping back at “miserable and rude” trolls who were less than positive about their engagement.
She wrote: “I’ve been celebrating a little too much to care what anyone has to say about our engagement. I’m absolutely elated and will be posting a lot of my ring.
“I knew when I was 13 I’d marry Kyler. We have this connection that some only dream of having. I’m going to continue to be happy and let the nay sayers continue to be miserable and rude.”
Lexi added: “Also, thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone for the positive and happy comments.
“All good things take time and we’re very happy to be able to share with you.”
