Kylie Jenner Deletes Bikini Pic After Filter Accusations

The 26-year-old makeup mogul uploaded the snap showing off her fit physique in a black two-piece to Instagram stories. But eagle-eyed fans were quick to comment that her face looked unusually smoothed and proportions seemed off. Comments claimed she made her face “twice as small” and erased details under her eyes.

Within minutes, Jenner replaced the photo with a similar shot looking away from the camera. But the damage was done – people online had already spotted the supposed editing fails. This isn’t the first time the reality star has faced scrutiny over allegedly editing her pictures. Fans often compare her photos to video clips pointing out differences.

No Stranger to Filter Accusations

Kylie Jenner has dealt with editing claims many times before. Just last month, she deleted lab photos from her cosmetics brand trip after people noticed her hair and nails weren’t properly covered. Critics said it was an unhygienic look. She’s also axed sexy promo shots that some felt were too racy. It’s no secret the young businesswoman is highly image-conscious. But these frequent deleting sprees show how much the opinions of her 330 million followers matter.

Will Jenner stop editing her pics altogether to avoid backlash? Only time will tell. The entrepreneur is still building her brand and reputation. But overuse of filters may damage her authenticity if fans can’t trust what they see. For now, it seems Kylie Jenner would rather delete and re-upload than leave an allegedly doctored photo up too long. Her bikini selfie blunder proves how quickly the internet can call out even the biggest of stars.
