Who doesn’t want to see Miranda Kerr‘s naked body while shopping for groceries??
Apparently A LOT of people!
The supermodel’s racy Harper’s Bazaar Australia cover from the January/February issue was taken off the shelves in supermarkets all over the continent because of customer complaints!

Considering the glossy stirred a lot of controversy when the nude front page was first unveiled, this isn’t exactly too surprising.
But it’s being reported that over 3,000 copies of Miranda’s naked body were removed from almost 800 of major Australian chain Coles Supermarkets‘ stores on Thursday.
Uh, we’ll take those extras!!
But in all seriousness, that’s wild. The edition only hit newsstands four days prior!
Though a spokesperson for one of those chains divulged:
“In response to feedback from our customers, many of whom shop with their children, we removed the magazine from sale earlier this week.”
That’s kind of what we expected.
Of course, Harper’s Bazaar Australia’s editor, Kelly Hush, had her own opinion on it:
“I’m the editor of a niche luxury fashion magazine and I’ve just had ABC Radio on [calling me] ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ I don’t think Harper’s Bazaar Australia has ever been talked about on the ABC. Obviously I don’t want anything damaging to the brand and don’t think this is. It’s disappointing, but I’m very proud of it. Steven Chee is an amazing photographer, my team are proud of it, Miranda is proud of it. It’s not going to stop me from pushing boundaries again, that’s for sure.”
Amazing!
We can’t wait to see what else the mag has in store!
