Celebrities and influencers are sometimes known for sharing too much of themselves on social media.
And one trend in recent years has been for stars to share cheeky photos of themselves sitting on the toilet. From the fame-hungry Kardashians to more private A-listers like Halle Berry and Charlize Theron, it seems that stars these days can’t resist posting photo dumps for fans.
According to body language expert Judi James, who spoke to The Sun, there’s a reason behind a bizarre trend.
Judi told the publication that the outrageous images suggest a ‘lack of inhibitions that can be seen as sexy’. She added, “It reminds the fans that this is a real woman behind all the celebrity goddess’.
One of the most infamous celebrity toilet photos to date belongs to Kourtney Kardashian. The image was posted by Kourtney’s husband Travis Barker to mark her 45th birthday. Months later, sister Kim was also caught on the loo with her pants down. The photo was shared by Kim’s business partner Tracy Romulus, who, just like Travis and Kourtney, shared the snap to mark Kim’s birthday. In the image, a smiling Kim sat on the toilet with a tight pair of leather trousers around her ankles.
One of the earliest adopters of the trend was Halle Berry, who shared a toilet photo to Instagram way back in 2017. At the time, the Oscar-winning actress, 58, was celebrating reaching two million followers.
Meanwhile, Madonna is a repeat offender when it comes to sharing toilet snaps. The Vogue hitmaker has regularly been sharing photos of herself on the throne since 2020. Other stars to jump on the trend include Billie Eilish, Winnie Harlow, and Amy Schumer.
Some celebrities have even taken to the toilet to promote their product lines. Last year, Katy Perry shared a snap of herself taking a selfie while sitting on a toilet in a public restroom with her underwear down around her legs. The photo was used to promote her popular footwear brand, The Katy Perry Collection.
