This is not the first time Kendall Jenner has been accused of perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards, and we have a sinking feeling that it won’t be the last.
Most recently, the 25-year-old model was caught using a video editing app on Instagram stories. In the video, it’s clear that some sort of filter was used to slim down Kendall’s features, and a simple glitch showed the truth to fans–who were, understandably, unhappy.

The momentary lapse shows Kendall’s stomach sticking out further than it looks in the rest of the video.
Many fans jumped on the glitch, wondering why a supermodel like Jenner would feel the need to edit her already slim figure. One wrote, “Kendal has literally a perfect model body that ppl would kill for… the photoshop is useless.”
Another commented on the effect of this kind of editing for young, impressionable fans: “This is really f’d up for young impressionable girls lacking confidence with no good role models. Taught my daughter young this is all smoke and mirrors.”
It’s not the first time people have expressed insecurities in the wake of one of Kendall’s picture-perfect posts. Anyone else remember that jaw-dropping SKIMS photoshoot? Kendall did not shy away from commenting on it, sending out this tweet to a fan who praised the photos (and how flawless Kendall looked in them).
i am an extremely lucky girl. appreciative of all that i have. but i want you to know i have bad days too and that i hear you! you are beautiful just the way you are!!! it’s not always as perfect as it may seem https://t.co/JcdrlR0hF9

Although the tweet–specifically the part about “it’s not always perfect as it may seem”–wasn’t a full confession to editing her posts, it sounds pretty close to one.
Here’s hoping Kendall’s next step is to stop photoshopping her pics altogether!
