Let’s all calm down, shall we?
Rebel Wilson says she was not slimmed down via technology for the upcoming June cover of Vogue Australia, a magazine most of those in the US never would have seen if not for the often-questionable objections from social media.
Then again, maybe she was just talking to her fans in Australia.
“[J]ust so you can see the raw v’s the magazine shot, I took a monitor photo myself on the day of the shoot! So please don’t carry on that these shots are heavily photoshopped because they’re not!,” Wilson said on Tuesday on Twitter, posting a pic of exactly what she said she was posting.
She said she didn’t intentionally slim down ahead of the shoot, either: “I just ate healthy and exercised for the month before the shoot x but then immediately after ate brownies!”
Only a handful of responses among the comments on her post about the cover were negative, but Wilson immediately jumped ahead of the game with the I-swear-it’s-the-real-me comment.
Fan Laura Barzallo asserted that the cover had been doctored and wondered why the mag couldn’t show Wilson “in her natural beauty.”
But then she immediately apologised after Wilson explained what really happened. Two other fans chatted to each other about the perceived editing. You get the idea.
At any rate, it looks as if Wilson’s tactic worked. Well played, Rebel. Good job heading off an international incident.
