Kim Kardashian slammed for allegedly darkening Stormi’s skin in Photoshopped Disney photo
Kim Kardashian has been slammed for allegedly darkening her niece Stormi’s skin tone in her infamous Photoshopped Disneyland pictures.
Kim Kardashian has been slammed for darkening her niece Stormi Webster’s skin tone to match her other niece True’s complexion in her infamous Photoshopped Disneyland pictures.
The TV star admitted on Wednesday that she had replaced Stormi with True in the photos from December, as reported by The Sun.
The 41-year-old was branded “disgusting” for editing the snaps, an act critics said was “incredibly wrong”.
One shared a comparison of Kylie Jenner’s daughter Stormi and Khloe Kardashian’s three-year-old True in the edited and unedited photos on Reddit, writing: “KIM DARKENED THE SKIN ON STORMI’S HAND TO MATCH TRUE.”
“I need everyone to seriously understand how disgusting and unhinged this is. So incredibly wrong,” they added.
“I feel like Kim just made the situation worse. Like who the f**k photoshops a child for ‘Instagram aesthetics’?”! She’s seriously crazy,” commented another.
“Agreed,” a third posted. “Because it honestly kind of implies that the kids are aesthetics. Like little props.”
Back in December, eagle-eyed fans claimed someone had “badly edited” True’s face over someone else standing beside Kim’s younger daughter Chicago.
The original photos showed the four-year-old beaming at the camera next to “True” during a trip to the theme park.
After Khloe accidentally let slip that the snaps were fake, Kim cleared the controversy up and revealed she was the one who altered them.
The reality star said the person next to Chicago was actually Stormi – and that she Photoshopped the four-year-old out at her sister Kylie’s request.
Kim started by explaining the colour scheme of her Instagram grid, writing on her Stories earlier this week: “OK OK, so you know I am all about my aesthetic! And my IG grid is pink and blue lately. Isn’t it so cute and well planned out! The original pics were Stormi!”
Kim’s explanation
“However I asked @kyliejenner if I could post them and she said [crying face emoji] she wasn’t really feeling posting at the moment and so I respect that!” she continued.
“But it wasn’t going to mess up my IG feed. Chi was wearing pink and it matched perfectly.”
Sharing the doctored photos, Kim admitted: “It wasn’t the aesthetic I was going for and I can own up to that!”
Low profile
It’s unclear why Kylie didn’t want Stormi to be featured at Disneyland back in December, however the mum-of-two had been keeping a low profile for several weeks at that time.
The 24-year-old fell off the radar after the Astroworld tragedy on November 5.
Ten people died and hundreds more were injured after a crush during Kylie’s partner, rapper Travis Scott’s, performance at the festival.
The crowd surged towards the stage while Travis was performing at the third annual Astroworld music festival at NRG Park in Houston on Friday, November 5, 2021.
In a message released on Twitter at the time, the artist expressed how devastated he was by what took place at his festival.
He assured fans that he was “praying for the families and everyone impacted by what happened at Astroworld Festival”.
