Serena Williams criticized for posting image that appeared photoshopped

Serena-Williams

Serena Williams has come under fire for sharing a photo on social media that appeared to be photoshopped to make her waist look slimmer.

Williams was recently featured in People magazine’s most beautiful women of 2016 issue, and she posted a photo on Instagram from the spread. Cosmopolitan captured a screenshot before Serena took it down:

Williams eventually deleted that photo and replaced it with the one below. Notice the difference in his waistline:

While Williams has yet to comment on the photo swap, that doesn’t necessarily mean she was responsible for photoshopping the image. Remember what happened a couple months ago when Ronda Rousey appeared on a talk show? This could have been the same type of situation.
