The model girlfriend of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has been criticised for her 'disrespectful and ignorant' decision to pose semi-naked for the Bring Back Our Girls campaign. Irina Shayk, best known for featuring in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, posted pictures online supporting the campaign to rescue nearly 300 schoolgirls kidnapped in Nigeria. The images show the 28-year-old Russian with just a piece of cardboard saying '#bring back our girls!!!' covering her semi-naked body. Soon after the pictures appeared on her Facebook and Instagram pages, she faced a massive backlash, with her followers accusing the star of being disrespectful. Scroll down for video
