Khloe Kardashian slammed for latest selfie just days after vowing to steer away from Photoshop
Khloe Kardashian has been slammed for her latest selfie just days after vowing to steer away from Photoshop. The 41-year-old appears to be in hot water with fans once again after stirring up a new controversy with her latest Instagram upload. The reality star recently spoke on an episode of her new podcast, Khloe in Wonderland, about her past obsession with editing her photos. She denied that she manipulates every picture but did candidly refer to her frequent use of photo-editing apps as 'humiliating.' 'There was a time that I definitely did. There was a time that I was around some people that would make me feel like I needed to,' Khloe said. 'I also think it was the era too. I felt like a lot of people were photoshopping, or heavily photoshopping, more than they do now. 'I do feel like there was a time that we all just got consumed in this filter lifestyle and we couldn't see ourselves without a filter.' She went on to say that she realizes now that her heavily-edited photos looked like 'cartoons.' 'I really had to reprogram my mind to be like, "Okay, we have to lay off the filters. This isn't real. That's not how I look and I don't want to look like that." 'It was a strange time,' the star said. But despite the seemingly honest reflection, some fans have pointed out that her latest Instagram post appears to be at odds with her sentiments. On Monday, Khloe uploaded selfies alongside two-year-old son Tatum, who she shares with Tristan Thompson. The duo gazed towards the camera before the mom-of-two captioned the snaps: 'Me and my forever.' But it did not take long for followers to speculate that those images were also heavily edited. 'Didn't she just make a statement saying she no longer uses photoshop?!?!?' one Reddit user commented under a grab of Khloe's Instagram post. 'In her head she must have rationalized that filters are not the same as FaceTune/Photoshop. Because otherwise what the hell was the point of that lie?!' another chimed in. 'I think she edited his face too,' another speculated. 'A completely different person in her face tuned pics versus in real life,' one user commented. Some fans went as far as to question the implications of Khloe's apparent continued use of filters, Photoshop, and other photo-editing platforms. 'The day will come (if it hasn't already) where the kids will ask why her photos look different to what they see in real life,' one user said.

Kim Kardashian posts then quickly deletes bikini photo from Idaho lake getaway and fans think they know why
KIM Kardashian posted, then quickly deleted, a bikini photo from her Idaho lake getaway - and fans think they know why. Reality star Kim, 44, shared a sun-soaked photo dump from the staycation, which featured her kids - minus North, 12 - and a group of glam mom friends. 7 But eagle-eyed followers noticed that one particular picture vanished shortly after it went live, sparking rampant speculation in the comments. The now-deleted shot showed Kim soaking up the rays in a lilac bikini at the edge of a wooden boat, striking a pose that highlighted her famous curves. She captioned the post: 'Lake 2025.' Other pictures saw her children Saint, Chicago and Psalm enjoy boat trips out to sea and playing with sparklers. While the rest of the gallery remained intact, fans believe the missing photo was pulled due to a photoshop blunder. Some claimed Kim forgot to adjust her proportions, leaving her bum looking bigger than usual compared to her cinched waist. One commented: 'Not enough photoshop," while another added: "She forgot to make her bum smaller!' A third said: 'She looks hippy here. Nothing wrong with that,' while a fourth pointed out: 'She has a crazy expression on her face!' It's not the first time this year she's been accused of a Photoshop fail. Back in May, fans spotted a clue that she had edited her body in some social media shots. Taking to Instagram to share a slew of sizzling snaps, Kim looked amazing as she donned a tiny silver string bikini. Posing up a storm in a series of mirror selfies and other snaps, Kim could be seen putting her svelte curves on display for all to see. In the caption, the TV personality declared it "spring break", while many fans swooned over her appearance. "Most envied woman on earth," penned one. "Still sexy as hell," swooned a second. While a third added: "Sweeter than honey hotter than fire." But not everybody was complimentary. Some fans on Reddit were quick to critique the SKIMS founder. PHOTOSHOP FAIL? In a thread dedicated to the Kardashian family, one person shared Kim's new snaps and said: "Why is her bra strap always so tight?" They then noted: "She's made a permanent dent there." One fan weighed in and said: "Because she's wearing a size small top when she should probably be wearing a medium, cup size looks too small." But another fan pointed out something suspicious. "Kim's torso is not that long," they said. To which someone replied: "Or thin. It's clearly been Photoshopped to hell and back."
