Kylie Jenner suffers major photoshop fail in sexy swimsuit photo as fans notice body part has been ERASED
KYLIE Jenner has been accused of photoshopping her latest swimsuit shoot as fans noticed her knees appeared to have been edited out.
The reality star, 24, showed off her curves in a purple crochet one-piece to promote her skincare line’s new collection.
Kylie wowed in the one-shoulder swimsuit and Perspex heels in one photo and posed with a bunch of lavender in another.
The mother-of-two captioned the shots: “Introducing our NEW lavender collection.
“Sooooo obsessed with these lavender-infused, self care essential products.”
While the beauty mogul looked stunning, her critics couldn’t help but notice that her legs appeared to be heavily airbrushed.

In the full-length snap, her knees seemed to be filtered and smoothed out so much that they had no shape or definition to them.
After the photo was shared on Reddit, one critic asked: “Where are her knees?”
Another posted, “This is even more edited than usual,” while a third wrote: “Her legs are photoshopped into oblivion.”
Kylie came under fire again last week when she was accused of blackfishing in a glam close-up photo to promote her makeup line.

Kardashian fans claimed she had visibly darker skin in the shot, in which she showed off a deep tan and slicked-back hair.
She framed her eyes with bold purple eyeshadow and used a purple-brown color on her lips.
Unlike her older siblings, Kylie does not have Armenian heritage. She is Caitlyn and Kris Jenner’s second daughter.
Kris has English, Irish, Dutch, German, and Scottish roots, according to Showbiz CheatSheet.
Caitlyn, a former Olympian, has Canadian and Welsh roots and like Kris, also traces her heritage back to England, Ireland, Scotland and Holland.
BLACKFISHING ACCUSATIONS
Kylie has been accused of blackfishing – which refers to someone pretending to be Black or mixed-race by using things like hairstyling and make-up.
Journalist Wanna Thompson created the term and described it as “White public figures, influencers, and the like [who] do everything in their power to appear Black.”
Kylie’s critics slammed her for her “disturbing” photo and claimed she’s “ripping off minorities”.
One wrote: “This is not okay… she is a white girl. This is blackfishing. I might not have actually known this was Kylie if it weren’t for this sub. Somebody stop her.”
Another added: “What kills me is the strategic planning of it all. An art director, make-up artist and photographer all had a meeting and deliberately decided, ‘Ok we are going to try to make you look biracial/Latina etc’ with this look. And then collective agreement!!”
A third posted: “She wants to be a non-white woman sooo badly it’s disturbing honestly.”
Yet another user commented: “Finding another minority to rip off from.”
PAST BACKLASH
This is not the first time Kylie has been accused of blackfishing.
Back in October, she and her sister Kendall came under fire for showing off significantly darker skin in an Instagram Story.
Weeks later, Kylie again sported an olive complexion and tight black braid while filming herself in the car.

The reality star has been sharing a more candid side to herself since welcoming her second child, a son, in February.
Kylie displayed her natural skin color while getting ready for the Met Gala in an unedited YouTube video last week, prompting fans to urge her to ditch the tan.
