https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koko_(gorilla)#Nipple_fixation
I learned about this today. I already knew a few stories about her, how she liked kittens und Robin Williams.
The nipple story makes her seem more relatable.
Dicks out for Harambe
Tits out for Koko?
koko says show nipples. she also says I have to be there and that you should let me bat them around a little
The problem with what happened in 2005 is that the director pressured them into revealing themselves. Although I am confused as to how this was found out in the first place
Koko could speak sign language, so she could ask.
She want taught an existing form of sign language, she was taught a never explained version of signing, which only the people who worked with her knew, and this was never documented in any scientific way for peer review, and the results weren't reproducable with other gorilla's or other researchers.
Best case scenarios, the humans involved anthropomorphized the gorilla, and thought they were communicating on a level much higher than they were actually communicating on, do to this.
Worst case, there were lying knowingly, and this was some sort of scam for money.
I have heard that was way over-exaggerated
Yep. It was a big fraud.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

She could definitely sign something like show nipples.
"hey, Koko wants you to take off your top."
"really?"
"Yeah, she's fascinated by nipples. Hold on, lemme get my camera."
.... no? Well... we might need to go a different direction with your position here...

Is that an issue? As long as it's only Koko seeing them?
That Wikipedia page seems to suggest that the director was using it as an excuse to peek at their nipples himself.
Koko the talking monkey, says “Apple nipple hungry,” Koko the talking monkey, says “Apple nipple crap!” I wanna be Koko…
