People Think Kim Kardashian West Photoshopped This Photo from 19 Years Ago
Of all the things to Photoshop, an old family picture is probably one of the most unexpected. And yet, that's what some people think Kim Kardashian West has done with her latest throwback pic. On Wednesday, the reality TV star took to her Twitter and Instagram with a little bit of '90s nostalgia. She uploaded a photo of herself and siblings Rob and Kourtney — sporting some fabulous baby bangs — smiling with their late father, Robert Kardashian, dating it 1999. But if some of Kardashian West's mentions are to be believed, not all of the picture dates back that far. Some fans are accusing her of Photoshopping her nose, due to a little bit of blurriness around the area.
"Omg did kim really photoshop her nose????," reads the number one reply below her tweet, along with a chain of other replies echoing the sentiment. Some Twitter users have even attached close-ups of the area in question that do, indeed, appear to show a little bit of blur. Others, however, think the blur is just from scanning a 19-year-old photograph, with a few Twitter users pointing out other blurred areas in the photo, including Robert Kardashian's chin. Which seems like a reasonable theory until one Twitter user, @jotomasloco, suggested that those areas are Photoshopped as well.

So, to quote Oprah, what is the truth?
Only Kim knows, and she hasn't commented on the mystery. But to be fair, she shouldn't have to, as in the long run, it really doesn't matter to begin with. She is free to do with her photos as she pleases. Besides, a person with her level of visibility is always going to be subject to unasked for opinions and speculations about what in the grand scheme of things, are nonissues. So do you, Kim.
This isn't the first time the makeup mogul has been accused of Photoshopping her pics. In April, she proved the unbelievers wrong by uploading multiple bikini shots to show she hadn't altered her vacation pictures. And just two weeks earlier, she had to field what might be the most ridiculous Photoshop accusation yet: that she'd digitally altered a car. In the photo in question, the car to the right of her looks weirdly skinny.
"I reposted a picture on Instagram that a fan had already posted — I only added a filter to it. It looks like the fan mirrored the photo, which is the reason the car looks like that," she wrote on her blog. "So, this is actually really funny to me! Who would even Photoshop a car to look like that?! LOL." Great question, Kim!
