All the times Kim Kardashian was accused of photoshopping pics of her kids
KIM Kardashian has repeatedly been slammed for photoshopping photos of her children, adding them in, and altering their looks in pics.
She and her siblings are no strangers to controversy over altered images.
The photoshop controversy surrounding the Kardashians took a turn for the worse when fans discovered Kim, 41, had been altering images of her children.
Recently, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum was slammed as “shameless” for photoshopping a photo of her kids to more closely match her look.
On July 4, Kim posted pics from her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
She had Psalm in her arms while Saint stood next to her.

Saint had his tongue sticking out and a baseball hat and jersey on.
Kim posted a series of photos on Instagram, including all of them behind the scenes, walking down the street, and various others.
She captioned the photo set, “Boys trip w their crazy drip.”
While most fans were leaving comments on how cute the three of them looked, some fans noticed a major photoshop failure on Kim’s part.

They noted that the SKKN mogul altered her son Saint’s shirt, changing the color from red to brown to make it match her Instagram feed.
The problem? She only made the change in the main photo, not the rest of the snaps in the batch.
It’s not the first time Kim’s toyed with pics of her kids or been called out for it either.
Here’s a look at all the times the SKIMS founder has photoshopped her kids.
OUTFIT CHANGE
In July, Kim appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote her skincare line SKKN.
She brought her kids along on the appearance, even showing them during the episode.
The fashion and beauty mogul shared a series of photos of herself and her children after the fact.
Fans were quick to point out that in the first of the photos, it appeared that Kim had photoshopped Saint’s hat and shirt to be brown, rather than its real red.
She did so in an effort to match the photos to her Instagram aesthetic.
A Reddit user posted the photos and said, “Kim is really dedicated to her feed that she edited the color of Saint’s outfit from red to brown just to match lol.”
“It has to be utterly exhausting caring this much about appearances. Constantly critiquing and photoshopping herself, her kids, etc….” one fan chimed in.
A third chimed in with, “The fact that Instagram aesthetic matters so much… jeez lmao.”
“Why does she care so much about an Instagram feed? It’s weird behavior,” one Reddit user asked.
Some fans pointed out the obvious and slammed her photoshop skills.
“Such a bad photoshop too, you can see the rusty halo around his hat against the wall,” said one fan.
“It’s not even done well, you can see a brown halo above his hat lmao,” said another.
Other social media users slammed her as “shameless” and “pathetic” for editing her children.
DISNEY DRAMA
Months earlier, in December 2021, Kim came under fire for posting a photo of sister Khloe Kardashian’s daughter True Thompson and her own daughter Chicago at Disney.
Not long after the Kardashians star posted the pic, fans began buzzing about it being altered in some way.
The speculation played out on TikTok, with eagle-eyed fans sharing theories and proof.
Khloe, 38, was the first to respond to the backlash, confessing that it was photoshopped.
She posted images with True at Disney earlier this month and said it was her daughter’s “first time” at Disneyland, despite there being photos of True at the amusement park late last year.
Fans reminded Khloe of the snaps Kim had posted of True at Disney in December on Twitter.
She responded by hinting at an editing blunder and then trying to direct the attention towards the family’s new Hulu show.
She replied: “Welp I f**ked this one up. Anyways… let’s focus on something else… Our show airs in a few days.”
Kim later explained why she photoshopped the photo.
The reality star said the person next to Chicago was actually her sister Kylie’s daughter Stormi – and that she photoshopped Stormi out at her sibling’s request.
Kim started by explaining the color scheme of her Instagram grid, writing on her Stories on Wednesday: “OK OK sooo you know I am all about my aesthetic!
“And my IG grid is pink and blue lately. Isn’t it so cute and well planned out! The original pics were Stormi!
“However I asked @kyliejenner if I could post them and she said [crying dace emoji] she wasn’t really feeling posting at the moment and so I respect that!
“But it wasn’t going to mess up my IG feed. Chi was wearing pink and it matched perfectly.”
Sharing the doctored photos, Kim admitted: “It wasn’t the aesthetic I was going for and I can own up to that!
“You know how much a good aesthetic means to my soul and I will be damned if Kylie will ruin that for me and mess up my IG grid.”
Kim then thanked Khloe and True, four, for allowing her to use the tot in the snaps instead and claimed her photoshopping was so good that even Khloe was convinced.
She wrote: “So thank you True for taking one for the team [laughing face emoji].
“I didn’t think it would be that big of a deal if her own mom questioned if I snuck her to a Disneyland for the first time.”
NORTH’S NEW LOOK
The Kardashians headed to Italy early this summer to celebrate the wedding of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker.
During the trip, they of course shared snaps from their many celebrations and outings.
Kim, for her part, posted a pic of herself enjoying a day on the water with her daughter North.
Upon further inspection, fans noticed that the TV star’s eldest daughter looked a little out of place.
One Reddit user speculated that Kim digitally altered the photo, which showed the mother-daughter duo standing side-by-side.
The Kardashian fan posted the boat photo along with a paparazzi pic also taken during the trip.
“Did Kim Kardashian photoshop North’s face and body in her latest IG post?” the caption read, garnering many comments from critics with the same thought.
“I think Kim is just so photoshopped that North looks out of place,” one person replied.
“Omg I came right here when I saw on IG, something not right with back ground against the two and bodies look loooong. Green screen holiday photo shoot?” another asked.
“Yes. The answer to this question is always yes,” a third stated.
“Idk what’s weirder, her doing this or her not seeing that it’s a bizzaro thing to do. What happened to care-free Kimmy,” a fourth remarked.
MINOR TWEAKS?
Critics came for Kim again after noticing yet another alteration to photos of herself and her sons from her trip to New York to promote SKKN.
A fan account on Instagram noticed a minor detail on Psalm’s nose in the mom of four’s Instagram post, which set tongues wagging.
It was captioned: “While Kim made some minor edits to herself here, she also made a minor edit to her toddler.”
They zoomed into Psalm’s nose and wrote: “Kim edited her three-year-old’s nose to be a tiny bit smaller.”
The original and the edited versions were posted back to back where fans could see the difference in Psalm’s nostrils.
Outraged fans commented about the edits as one posted: “Her kids are gorgeous, what is her problem?”
A second said: “Honestly, she could get cancelled for it.”
Yet a third added: “This whole photo-shopping her kids thing is a whole new level of low.”
A fourth posted: “She’s a terrible person and mother.”
BABY BODY
Kim has been accused of editing a photo of her daughter North as a child, making the then-toddler appear slimmer.
Critics called her “next level deranged,” sharing the original photo alongside the apparently edited one.
A fan posted an Instagram side-by-side of an image featuring Kim with her long hair down and North, nine, with adorable twin hair buns and green shorts.
“All unedited images were found on Getty or posted by the photographer prior to kim posting them,” they wrote.
They then shared the image that Kim posted to her own Instagram.
Suddenly, North’s shorts were more muted in color – as were their skin tones – and Kim’s plump pout had a little extra volume.
But the youngster’s waist appeared to have been taken in quite noticeably, the poster claimed when sharing it.
Fans were furious by this and flooded both the comments section and Reddit having discovered it.
“Photoshopping baby fat off your child… that is all,” one wrote.
“This is just next level sick, messed up and deranged way to treat a child,” wrote another.

A third ripped: “I keep looking back and forth at North’s tummy on each photo- blows my mind. You don’t do this to your babies, this will psychologically f**k them up.”
“God this makes me so mad” one reacted. “Bums me out so much that these kids won’t know which of their baby pics are real or edited…”
