Most are seeing the filtered shot as a response to the ongoing social media scandal facing the reality star.
On Thursday, unedited bikini photos of Kardashian surfaced from her vacation with sister Kourtney. While Kim typically uploads photos that make her skin and body seem flawless, these paparazzi snaps posted by the Daily Mail show her rear covered in cellulite and with unnatural proportions.
While a little cellulite isn’t anything to scoff at, some fans felt betrayed by the revelation. Kim has passed off an image of flawlessness on social media for years, and fans were shocked she would even edit candid shots seemingly taken with her phone.
As the controversy unfolded, Kim lost around 100,000 followers on her Instagram account.
