A girl messaged me on Instagram to take boudoir pictures of her at her house. I went to her house , took her pictures. I went home edited and sent them. She said she loved them but she asked me not post the sexy ones because her boyfriend found out about the pictures and wasn't happy about it. I told her I would not post them immediately because I never do anyway, and when I post I will not tag her. few months pass by and I post one of the pictures and seemed fine, but it had a nip slip which I didn't notice until she spam my inbox asking me to take it down. now both her and her roommate are spamming me saying I don't own copyrights to the images since I never paid for the shooting. which was never agreed to have any sort of payment on either end. So do I own the copyrights of the picture and can I post it ?

You definitely own the copyright but you may not have the right to publicly display the image. Most photographers get a model release as a CYA, and it sounds like you don't have one. Given the sexually explicit nature of the photographs, your image may also be subject to revenge-porn laws in your area.
my Instagram is explicit photos of girls, she knew that once she asked me to take the pictures. she knew where they would go. she only changed her mind after her boyfriend got upset.
This is an ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE UNETHICAL PERSPECTIVE TO TAKE.
As a boudoir photographer, people are posing for you in their most vulnerable state. You need to give this, and them, the utmost respect. If the client asks you to never post an image, then don't. If they initially agree, and then change their mind, then take the image down.
Not respecting this will quickly lead to you losing your reputation in a business where reputation matters more than almost everything.

Legally, can you? Probably, yes. By default, copyright belongs to the photographer and you don't seem to have any sort of contract which assigns the copyright to anyone else.
However... I'd strongly say that posting explicit photos of someone who has very clearly asked you not to post them makes you a bad sort. Consider why you're doing this and if that's the sort of person you want to be.
