Angela Simmons Poses Nude In New PETA Ad

Angela Simmons

Angela Simmons, the daughter of the legendary Run DMC rapper Rev. Run, stripped down to nothing in a new ad for the People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals.

The spot is meant to draw attention to PETA's "Go Vegetarian" campaign. Simmons said she gave up eating meat because of her uncle Russell, the outspoken mogul and activist, who has been vegan for more than a decade. "He let me watch a video that kind of threw me off," she said. "And I was like, I don't want to eat anymore meat!"

Simmons, a devout Christian, appears in the ad completely naked, save for an apple strategically placed in front of her crotch.

"I don't want to start any controversy, but I guess it's weird to me that somebody's naked, but you won't really see anything," Simmons said. "It's classy, and I won't go about it in a crazy way."

PETA has long courted controversy for its risquƩ (and some say exploitative) use of naked women in its advertisements. Earlier this summer, the animal rights group said it even intended to create a porn site.

Check out some of Simmons' hottest (clothed) looks below.

I thought milk does the body good? Apparently, it's eating vegan.

This ad is beautiful & tasteful. Love!

Congratulations on using your beautiful body to make an important social statement. If only we all were as bold and courageous to stand up for what we believe in. You're beautiful, inside and out.

It takes a brave person (man or woman) to use their body to send a powerful message. Of course, her vegan diet is partly to thank for that! Bravo. With so much sexuality in our society today, it's refreshing to see someone to put a positive and tasteful spin on it. Her Eve-esque look in the photo is no more risque than the many paintings thru the centuries of Adam and Eve in the garden.

Props to her for speaking up for something she believes in and good for her to use her beauty as a tool. All of you people who complain should try and do something that matters, it might cheer you up.

Whatever excuse she needs works for me, I'll stare at her all day as I eat my fried chicken, steak and shrimp.
