Zendaya Calls Out Magazine for Photoshop, Aims to Keep It Real

Zendaya Coleman is all about keeping it real.


The young actress, who has never been afraid to speak her mind, has taken issue with the latest issue of Modeliste.



The 19-year old jumped on Instagram early Wednesday to call out the publication for running an edited picture of her inside its cover this month.


“Had a new shoot come out today and was shocked when I found my 19 year old hips and torso quite manipulated,” Zendaya wrote, posting side-by-side comparisons of the two images.


The one on the right, above, is the original version; the one on the left has been Photoshopped.


“These are the things that make women self conscious, that create the unrealistic ideals of beauty that we have,” Zendaya added.


“Anyone who knows who I am knows I stand for honest and pure self love.”


The magazine actually replied to Zendaya’s criticism and removed the pictures, prompting Coleman to write in response:


“Thank you @modelistemagazine for pulling down the images and fixing this retouch issue.”


Zendaya, of course, found herself at the center of another fashion-related scandal back when she wore her hair in braids on the Academy Awards red carpet… and Giuliana Rancic took issue with the look.
