Kim Kardashian has once again been caught out editing her pictures, as a TikTok user has exposed her for Photoshopping her neck in one of her latest Instagram posts! We have no words!
The Photoshopped picture in question was posted on the 41-year-old Skims founder‘s Instagram grid on August 16th, as part of a six-image carousel to promote her Beats Fit Pro ‘True Wireless Earbuds’ collection. Kim can be seen standing in a pool in a bikini, oversized shades, and sipping a drink, with her blonde hair tied up in an effortless up-do to expose the Beats that are in her ears. Very clever!

However, a TikTok user named Caroline In The City (caroline_in_thecity) pointed out in a video that not all was as it seemed in the mom-of-four’s pictures – and a big clue was in the “warped” water pattern behind her! She proceeded to show fans Kim’s neck before and after the retouching, as well as a recreation of some of the retouching process, which involved the side of the neck being slimmed down to very unnatural levels using the ‘liquify’ tool in Photoshop.

Another big clue that Kim’s neck was Photoshopped came in the form of a behind-the-scenes video from the photoshoot, as it showed her neck looking a lot more natural than the first picture in the Insta carousel. And fans had so many thoughts and questions!
“Just why,” one fan asked, all in caps. “I’m trying to figure out why they photoshopped the pic in the first place. Nothing is wrong w her lmao,” another fan commented. “Why? It’s a muscle I am so confused,” added another. “That must feel so… strange. to warp your trap like that?? it’s so specific and strange. i don’t get it,” expressed another. “They even changed the color of the earbuds to make them more skin tone,” another observant fan added, which even Caroline was shocked about, writing, “Oh wow! I missed that!”

“How are they not totally embarrassed by some of these photoshops?” questioned another fan, while many others insisted that the internet shouldn’t care so much about what Kim or any other celeb or influencer does with their pictures. “Why does everyone care so much ? like just leave her alone,” wrote one fan, followed by a skull emoji. “If this upsets you, please don’t give “influencers” that much power.Love yourself.No one is perfect, if someone wants to edit their pictures, let them,” said another.
