Zendaya Offended? 'Replay' Singer Slams Magazine For Photoshopping Her Photos To Match 'Ideal' Beauty
Some Hollywood actress slay so gracefully, while others slay like a bad ass. But, one of the things that make Zendaya more beautiful is that she knows how to slay both ways.
The 19-year-old singer was disappointed and has recently slammed Modeliste magazine for photoshopping her images to match what the magazine has thought to be ideal for a teenager, according to an E! News report. The former Disney star said that the way her image has been photoshopped promotes "unrealistic" ideals of beauty after her hips and torso have been manipulated to appear thinner than what they really are.
Zendaya posed in the picture wearing a black leather jacket as a top and a tiny black bikini for her bottom, exposing her entire legs bare. Her wavy locks flowing beautifully along her shoulders with the picturesque Puerto Vallarta in Mexico serving as her backdrop.
Through an Instagram post, the "Replay" singer has showed her 14 million followers a side-by-side collage of her before and after photos. The singer also vented out her dismay and said she was "shocked" to see the result of her photoshoot with the magazine.
According to the Daily Mail, after slamming the Los Angeles-based magazine, Modeliste editor-in-chief Amy McCabe has immediately sent a letter to the actress and made a decision to pull the November issue and replace them with Zendaya's non-manipulated photos.
In the letter obtained by RumorFix, McCabe explained that Zendaya's photos were manipulated by an "independent editing company" and has ultimately shown support for Zendaya, saying that "the images had been retouched to an extent that was not acceptable and true to the values and ideals [they] represent and promote in [their] publication."
McCabe also expressed respect and admiration of how Zendaya loves her natural state that the singer even noticed her fine baby hairs have been photoshopped.
"It was incredibly profound that this was something in particular in which she loves about herself, and what is a part of what makes her who she is. What one person may see as a 'flaw' is someone else's 'fabulousness,'" McCabe added.
At the end of her post, Zendaya thanked the magazine for respecting her decision to reveal her natural beauty, instead of the ridiculously manipulated one. "Thank you @modelistemagazine for pulling down the images and fixing this retouch issue," the singer added.
