The photo retouching controversy continues to stir debate. Now Khloé Kardashian is under fire on social media for allegedly editing a photo of her face posted on Instagram on Thursday, March 14th. The 39-year-old entrepreneur shared a picture alongside her friend Erin Paxton, who used to work with Khloé on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. In the image, she can be seen sporting glamorous makeup with her long locks pulled back behind a ribbon. Her face appeared completely smooth and wrinkle-free, catching the attention of some users.
The photo immediately sparked uproar in the celebrity’s comment section. “FaceApp is doing its ‘faceapping’,” one user commented, while another added a sad emoji with teary eyes, saying, “More facial work.” Khloé has faced numerous accusations of retouching her body and face in social media photos. She generally avoids responding to comments about whether she has edited her posts or not but addressed the issue in April 2021 after an unedited bikini photo was mistakenly shared on Instagram.
“The photo that was posted this week is beautiful. But as someone who has struggled with body image all my life, when someone takes a photo of you that isn’t flattering with bad lighting or doesn’t capture your body as it is after working so hard to get to this point… and then shares it with the world; you should have every right to ask for it not to be shared, no matter who you are,” she said.
Khloé Kardashian Admitted to Altering Her Photos
“I love a good filter, good lighting, and some editing here and there. Just like I wear makeup, get my nails done, or wear a pair of heels to present myself to the world how I want to be seen, and that’s exactly what I’ll continue to do without apologizing.”
