She also referenced a second video, in which she was blowing up a pool toy, which was likewise removed for guideline violations.
Reggie continued: ‘And then I got flagged again for the video of me blowing up a pool toy. Nothing sexual about that whatsoever.

‘Like, how can you blow up a floating pool toy and get restricted for posting it? It’s unbelievable.
Reggie said ‘someone’ is reporting all her videos and she ‘can’t even appeal’.
‘This is Facebook, but it’s happening a lot, and I think that someone is seriously reporting my post, so you can’t even appeal. It’s crazy.
‘I have seen worse stuff than trying on a pair of undies and blowing up a pool toy on social media, so what do you do? I just don’t know what to do anymore,’ she said, calling the situation, ‘absolute madness.’
‘Can someone please start up another bloody platform where you can blow up pool toys without getting banned?’ she added.
Reggie told her fans that she feared being removed from social media permanently.
‘If you don’t see me again, I’ve been banned for good,’ she warned.
It comes after Reggie revealed she is struggling to find a permanent place to live.
She shared her workout routine with her 56,000 followers, while revealing her difficulty finding permanent accommodation.

The former fish and chip shop manager, who says her vision is now like looking through straws, added: ‘They don’t know me, or the challenges I deal with every day.
‘I think people who leave comments like that have issues.’
