During an interview with Allure magazine the star was asked if she feels responsible even guilty for setting an unrealistic unattainable beauty standard

But Kim denied that this was the case insisting in her response If I m doing it it s attainable Elsewhere in the piece she added I really genuinely care about looking good I probably care more than 90% of the people on this planet

It s not easy when you re a mom and you re exhausted at the end of the day or you re in school and I m all of the above Kim went on I do my beauty treatments usually late at night After everyone s in bed I m doing laser treatments

The billionaire s comments angered people at the time with many accusing Kim of failing to acknowledge the wealth privilege that affords her the ability to indulge in late-night laser treatments as well as other cosmetic procedures a home gym personal trainer and personal chef

As a result many scoffed at the notion that Kim s looks are attainable with one person tweeting at the time Every time she tries to make herself seem relatable she just shows how completely delusional and out of touch she is Fuck off already

But while her privileged lifestyle means that Kim is certainly able to keep herself looking as good as possible in real life others also pointed out that she is often exposed for photoshopping her social media posts

This means that the beauty standards that Kim projects into the world every day aren t even attainable to her as the images that she shares with fans have been heavily manipulated

Over the years Kim and her famous sisters have been caught digitally tweaking their appearance — often trimming their waistlines airbrushing their skin and accentuating their curves

In fact in April 2021 Kim s sister Khloé Kardashian admitted to using photoshop tools in the same way I throw on some make-up get my nails done or wear a pair of heels to present myself to the world the way I want to be seen after an unedited bikini photo leaked online

Khloé was reportedly so embarrassed by the unauthorized picture that she launched legal action in a bid to scrub it from the internet She was accused of being a hypocrite when she said that she felt the pressure of not ever feeling perfect enough and told fans we cannot continue to live life trying to fit into the perfect mold of what others have set for us as she responded to the leak

One person tweeted in response to Khloé s statement I am empathetic to the pain and insecurities Khloé Kardashian admits she faces but I think what is important to note is that the Kardashian family has contributed if not created the beauty standard over the last 2 decades through photoshop surgery and exuberant wealth…

And the manipulation isn t limited to just photos either with Kim being found guilty of using a filter that made her face thinner in an Instagram video last year Followers noticed that the walls behind her were concave and appeared to have changed shape in telltale signs of digital editing

Back in June Kim was even accused of having filters added to her TV interview on The Tonight Show after viewers noticed that her face looked blurred in some of the clips and a dedicated Instagram account drew attention to the moment that the apparent filter glitched

But Kim s most recent photoshop faux pas has been branded a new level of delusion after a TikTok user seemingly exposed the star for editing out her trapezius muscle around her neck and shoulders

Commercial photographer Caroline highlighted the bizarre move in a now-viral video where she also reverse-photoshopped the area to reveal how the original picture would have looked

@caroline_in_thecity Nerd out with me and test your media literacy skills! Can you tell what is fake in this image? #medialiteracy #photoshopskillsonfleek #carolinesediting #photoshopgametime #greenscreen #greenscreenvideo original sound - Caroline In The City

After the video gained traction online some women admitted that they were weirdly relieved by the photo-editing revelation admitting that they had started to become self-conscious of their own normal body parts

In the TikTok Caroline shared a close-up photo from Kim s promotional post for her new wireless earbud range Beats Fit Pro

In the pictures Kim is in a swimming pool sipping on a drink with her body angled slightly away from the camera

Kim K is notorious for photoshopping out her traps Caroline began in the video Why I don t know maybe it makes her neck look smaller

tiktok.com

She then drew attention to the water behind Kim s right shoulder that suggested that the image had been manipulated When we zoom in we can see the water pattern behind her ear has been warped she explained

tiktok.com

Caroline used the liquify tool in Photoshop to reverse the editing and the water reflection in the background immediately started to look much more natural

tiktok.com

Kim had also shared a video from the photo shoot that seemingly hadn t been altered in the same way and Caroline added a screenshot from that to reiterate the discrepancy in her appearance

tiktok.com

Caroline s reverse-photoshopped image seemed to be incredibly accurate as it mirrored Kim s body shape in the video screengrab These were both notably different from the photo that Kim had posted which showed her shoulders and neck to be much narrower

tiktok.com

Caroline s followers were flabbergasted by Kim s actions with one writing This is actually so not okay You would think that now that they have daughters they would think about the impact of this more

tiktok.com

Someone else commented Well this explains why I never like my shoulders in pictures Another wrote The fact that I would never have noticed but it s painfully obvious after the fact

tiktok.com tiktok.com

Someone else also pointed out that the earbuds Kim was wearing in the shoot were a different color in the video and the photo that she posted claiming that Kim had altered this to make them more skin tone

tiktok.com

Over on Reddit one user called Caroline s exposé disturbing as hell Another person added Jesus this is a new level of delusion

reddit.com reddit.com

They edit some of the dumbest shit on their bodies… another said One more echoed This is officially one of the weirdest things ive ever seen Like why really tho WHY

reddit.com reddit.com

Kim still lives in 2010 when having a human body was a flaw It s just bizarre and I mean it There is absolutely NOTHING WRONG in having body parts Body parts She is editing and photoshopping normal body parts FFS And why For what It only makes her look robotic one user wrote

reddit.com

A similar comment read I m not surprised by this at all She just wants to make herself look stick thin at this point Sad because before isn t even bad It s normal

reddit.com

And other people thanked the OP for sharing Caroline s TikTok as they highlighted the damage that can be done by high-profile figures posting edited images of themselves

One person wrote Thanks for posting this I ve been weirdly fucked up by how short my neck s been looking compared to this photo and every other influencer I don t seek them out but they find their way to me anyway

reddit.com

I m really thankful that I got to see this video someone else agreed I really HATE my shoulders because of these muscles but like why Like they re so normal Imagine if we could use the energy we waste on this superficial nonsense and put it to something good

reddit.com

One more added This shit is so damaging I am an adult woman I know what Photoshop is I know that all of these social media images are photo shopped But I would be lying if I didn t admit that when I see photos of myself this is exactly the kind of stuff I see on my own body and think I m so big And this is why

reddit.com

Not sure why but I m weirdly relieved by this another summarized

reddit.com

Earlier this month people shared their exasperation at Kim s apparent obsession with being perfect as they accused her of being in competition with the world when she bragged about her bone density on Instagram

View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @kimkardashian

You hear that she wrote alongside a video of a practitioner analyzing her body My bones are stronger than 93-97% of people

Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/kimkardashian/?hl=en

Why is she always bragging She is the most insecure person alive because I literally do not give zero fucks if my bone density is better than 100% of people one person commented at the time

The video came after months of Kim being called out for her triggering comments about weight loss following her controversial Met Gala diet which compelled a registered dietitian to accuse the star of setting a terrible example and perpetuating eating disorders
