Kardashian critics slam Kim for not looking like ‘a real person’ in latest Skims ad due to ‘heavy photoshop’
KIM Kardashian has been ripped for not looking like "a real person" in her latest Skims ad due to heavy "photoshop."
This isn't the first time fans have speculated about the abundant use of photo editing in the Hulu star's social media posts.
The critics discussed the shapewear brand's new ad—which featured Kim, 42, wearing a backless, thong bodysuit—on a Kardashian-dedicated Reddit board.
The post, titled "New Skim," showed a front and back view of the platinum blonde-haired TV star wearing the piece from Skims' Recycled Nylon collection.
The reality star's Coke bottle shape and much-envied thigh gap were on full display as she stared directly down the lens of the camera.
The taupe-colored bodysuit accentuated her impossibly thin waist before giving way to her curvaceous hips and thighs.
In the snapshot taken from behind, Kim's blonde hair was pulled to the front allowing her bare back and voluptuous booty to take center stage.
In the comment thread, one Redditor wrote: "I guess this is her response to the comments of her refusing to show her behind wearing Skims.
"Also, she's gotta emphasize that thigh gap 'cause she's so skinny now."
They continued: "The whole thing is edited so much that it's not even a real person in that picture anymore..."

Another person commented: "Her boobs are magically in a push up from the front."
"If anything I think her butt may be edited out in the front pic. Her wrists are about crotch height in the front but looking at her hands in the behind pic there's a whole lotta ass still happening between wrists and fingertips," added a third.
A fourth commenter stated: "Really fixated on that [thigh gap], you can really see it's photoshopped, the front and the back doesn't match."
In response, the original Redditor claimed: "Yes, the thigh gap is definitely photoshopped, I didn't really point it out in my OP cause I figured it was obvious but yeah lol."
PHOTOSHOP FAIL
Last summer, Kim appeared to suffer a photoshop failure in a video of her frolicking in the ocean during her tropical vacation.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum's then-boyfriend Pete Davidson, 29, filmed her walking into the water while wearing a black bikini.
Fans noticed that Kim's belly button seemed to briefly "disappear" before quickly reappearing—which is a tell-tale sign of editing.
One wrote on the Instagram fan account at the time: "Her belly button disappears and comes back..."
Another wrote: "Damn she lost so much weight the belly button just straight disappeared did y’all see that?!"
Kim and Pete jetted off on their tropical vacation and enjoyed boat trips and turtle spotting.
BIKINI BABE
Over the weekend, Kim almost busted out of her teeny tiny white bikini as the 42-year-old flaunted her slender waist in several behind-the-scenes videos.
In the series of Instagram Stories, The Kardashians star donned a skintight bodysuit as she turned her dark hair to blond.
The TV personality teased her long, bare legs as she crossed them.
The Skims founder lifted the dumbbells while sipping from a pink can of Alani Nu energy drink.
As the series continued, Kim displayed ample cleavage as stylist Chris Appleton touched up her blond strands.
In the last clip, Kim showed off her thin waist while strutting around the large in her white bikini set.
Kim's skinny frame is the result of her intense diet and workout regimen.
During an appearance on Today in June, the star opened up about living a slimmer lifestyle.
Hosts Savannah Guthrie, 51, and Hoda Kotb, 58, gushed over Kim's stunning ensemble at the Gala event.
Kim explained the lengths she took to wear the dress, including altering her curvy figure.
She explained her significant weight loss at the time: "I looked at it like a role, and I really wanted to wear this dress... It was really important to me.";
But the "role" appeared to be life-changing for the mom of four as she continued her diet long after exiting the red carpet.

Kim confessed: "It actually taught me a lot about my lifestyle and my health, and since then, afterward, I continued to eat really healthy. I mean, I'm down 21 pounds now."
Despite her drastic weight loss, the mom-of-four claimed she had no plans to drop any more pounds and now has a healthier outlook on her eating habits.
