Justin Bieber Calvin Klein Ad: Singer's Team Denies Underwear Ads Were Photoshopped [Pics]
The recent release of Justin Bieber's provocative Calvin Klein ads has the Internet in quite a frenzy.
Since the release of his Calvin Klein photos, which feature the singer topless in CK underwear showing off what fans are calling a well-endowed body, some critics have questioned whether Bieber's ads were photoshopped.
One website in particular, Breathe Heavy, recently published a gif that features back-to-back before and after photos of Bieber looking skinnier and less enhanced than his official Calvin Klein ad campaign.
The gif quickly garnered traction online leaving fans to question whether the Calvin Klein ads are an accurate portrayal of what Bieber actually looks like.
Mark Wahlberg's wife added fuel to the fire when she published a tweet accusing Bieber of retouching his photos and expressing her preference for Wahlberg's past Calvin Klein ad campaign, E! News reports.

Since the controversy over Bieber's enhanced package, his camp has issued a cease and desist letter to BreatheHeavy urging the site to removed the gif from its site and retract its statements about Bieber's allegedly photoshopped ad campaign, Access Hollywood reports.
BreatheHeavy posted an apology to Bieber onto its site and obliged to the demands. The Bieber gif is no longer available on the company's website.
"Team Bieber sent BreatheHeavy a cease and desist letter because of the alleged un-retouched Calvin Klein photo we posted, asking we remove the picture in question as well as provide a retraction," reads the BreatheHeavy apology. "Because BreatheHeavy is not about making anyone feel bad or intentionally stirring the pot (and are definitely not here for lawsuits), we shall retract the story per request."
The fashion company also came to Bieber's defense and praised the singer for his professionalism on set, according to Access Hollywood.
"Justin showed up early everyday with amazing energy; he completely trusted us and gave it his all," the company said in a statement. "He came alive when it was time to perform, especially when the drum kit came out -- it was really impressive."
