According to Kourtney: “They doctored and Photoshopped my body to make it look like I have already lost all the weight, which I have not [...] And I gained 40 pounds while pregs, not 26…But thanks!”
Kudos to Kourtney for being open about it. I can imagine as a new mom, she’s not embarrassed by her new body but apparently OK! magazine is.
What do you think of Kourtney’s remarks? Should more celebrity moms (or celebs in general) take Kourtney’s stance towards Photoshopping?
guest
wow. props to her for telling the truth. i think she looks better in the not photoshopped version, too. stupid media.

She looked better unphotoshopped…what the heck did they do to her? They changed the position of her face and everything. BAD PHOTOSHOPPING.
guest
so good for her!!
guest
wow never thought i’d give props to a kardashian
but props to her for speaking up! she looks better in the original anyways
guest
I didn’t even know that she was pregnant. I think she just wants to bring more attention to the birth of her baby by being pissed at being photoshopped, so more people will look at the magazine. unlike brangelina, who gets loads of attention just for a glimpse of their newborn.
guest
ahaha, in the photoshopped version, her arm that isn’t cradling the baby looks awkward and weird.
sunflower / 286 posts
Ugh, wow. The media portrays “reality” a different way just to get bigger sales. Big surprise…
At least she told the truth about it and stood her ground on the whole situation. I give her major props for that one. Good for her.
guest
the second picture just looks weird. it doesn’t even look like her. thank god someone’s taking a stance on photoshopping…
guest
That is so fucked up… no wonder people have body image issues.
guest
@P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - She already has enough attention on her baby, she has a fucking show for Christ’s sake. Don’t be such a bitch!!

People say I look like her. Lol I didn’t even know who she was.

good for her.
guest
@SexcapadesAnonymous@xanga - I don’t have cable tv. I just told the truth that I didn’t know that she was preggers. I don’t even watch normal tv celebrity shows like extra or et. you calling me a bitch doesn’t make you look any better either.
guest
Very bad photoshopping. I think she looks amazing in the 1st picture.
dahlia / 2382 posts
@xraindropsonroses@xanga - I agree. They took a good thing & completely made it into something stupid. Photoshop was made to cover imperfections & to correct things like bad lighting/shading/etc. Not to make women look unrealistic.
I’m glad Kourtney spoke up so people wont think she had dramatic weightloss or surgery. It also shows she’s proud of her body after baby. I hope this stops the bad comments on the Kardashians. I love them!
guest
Her baby looks sickly in the photoshopped picture.
guest
good for her
guest
cool
guest
Personally I think she looks a lot better in the un-photoshoped picture!
guest
Wow, they even shopped the baby’s fingers into differnet positions! Talk about dedication to the lie.
… either that, or it’s a different picture.
orchid / 155 posts
@NikBv@xanga - I think it’s a completely different pose if I’m not mistaken. The angle of her face is completely different… I may be wrong
guest
In the photoshopped pic she looks fake, I don’t like it. The real her is more beautiful, stop the photoshopping and give girls a chance to like themselves for who they are.
guest
love it! you go girl, i think you’re beautiful just as you are!
magnolia / 1296 posts
i agree, good for her.
guest
they even photoshopped the baby! wtf whyyy
magnolia / 1354 posts
Good for her for being real. OK magazine is complete crap. I think she looked way better before the photoshopping. In the before picture she looks much younger and lively….the after image makes her look really tired and aged.
guest
Um, I think she’s in a totally different pose. But they definitely did photoshop her. Sad, really…. and as a mom, I’m really proud of her for speaking out. Because most post-partum moms do not look like Heidi Klum, and I think it’s horrific to expect that they SHOULD be.
guest
Kourtney definitely has the biggest brain out of the bunch.
guest
aww good for her!
guest
I think she was very bold and definitely did the right thing.
guest
@daylightbreaker@xanga - That’s exactly what I was going to say.
They even photoshopped the baby! Wow…
guest
Good for her.
guest
@NikBv@xanga - Yeah it’s a different picture, the baby is wearing different clothes.
guest
@SexcapadesAnonymous@xanga - I agree!
rose / 886 posts
Good for her. The photoshopped picture looks awful she looks so happy and glowing in the original picture. She is stunning & she doesn’t need photoshop
guest
I’m glad she’s getting mad and being truthful about it.
guest
Those pictures hardly even look the same… Like they just pasted things together randomly.
I’m proud of her! She knows what she is, and that’s pretty hard to find in the celebrity world. :]
guest
Good stuff. Props to her! She’s always been very open about these things.. That’s for sure.
guest
They didn’t need to photoshop her because I think she looks better in the left picture, anyway.
guest
WAHHH? they didnt even try to be sutble they changed the color of her shirt and airbrushed the baby as well.
guest
waaahh~
guest
I think that’s great of her, ya know.
guest
wth kinda photoshop did they use! because the before picture is waaaay prettier. her skin color looks funny in the photoshopped one.
guest
Wow she is whoring the hell out of that baby.
guest
@dear__Konstantine@xanga -
i think thats because thats where her stomach used to be…which they photoshopped skinny. either that or it’s a different photo all together.
Ps-purple shirt………? ok OK magazine..
guest
Absolutely great =]
love it.
I personally gained about 50 [close to her 46].. And im STILL strugglin to lose it. At least shes not ashamed. Props to her =]

Heck yes. It makes the rest of us feel alien and just plain inadequate when we can’t drop our baby weight in two months like all the “celebrities” can. It’s good to know that some of that is a crock.
hydrangea / 88 posts
Post-preggo bodies are nothing to be ashamed of, and magazines are wrong to manipulate them in order to flatter and get a cover story about some “amazing diet”… false, wrong, no good. I’m glad Kourtney spoke up about it.
guest
Good for her. Those people are shallow assholes.
guest
I think has to be a modge podge of other pictures. Her head isn’t even facing the same direction, the babies hands are in a completely different position and he looks like he’s floating. lmao.
guest
good for her! they even photoshopped her baby, they made his adorable chubby HEALTHY ankle all skinny.
guest
yay her for telling the truth
guest
@P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - I honestly don’t care how I “look.” I just think it’s fucked up to say that she is doing it for publicity and attention for her baby. Even if you don’t watch TV, it’s obvious. She is on the cover of a magazine holding her baby, isn’t that enough attention? I think she was angry about being photoshopped out of honesty and NOT for attention.
guest
WOOOHOOO KOURTNEY!!!!
guest
photoshop is like magics… wow.
guest
I don’t think that’s the same picture… her face is at a COMPLETELY different angle.. I mean, you can only do so much with photoshop. They probably did make her look slimmer, but this definitely isn’t the same photo.
guest
heh, i bet she loved it.
guest
i thk ,,the non-photoshop’s more better,,,natural ;]
the baby’s arms are also photoshopped- -
guest
Women’s magazines are full of LIES.
- Kunoichi
guest
guest
props to her. and i like the first picture better anyways!
i think it’s 2 different pictures though. but they just take a bunch of similar shots in photoshoots anyways.
guest
they didn’t really photoshop that much of
Koutney
daisy / 630 posts
i really don’t think either picture looks like her, but the first picture looks a lot healthier and attractive than the other…

Good for her! =)

Whenever I hear or read soemthing about Kardashians or the Hiltons or the Simpsons and what they don’t or do like, one question cmes into my mind:
Who Cares?
I mean, who are they, and why shouold what they like or not be a concern?
daffodil / 1622 posts
@NikBv@xanga - it looks like a different pic idk >.<
sunflower / 434 posts
She looks so beautiful in the original picture.
I like the Kardashians.
guest
She is my favorite Kardashian <33333
guest
Kudos to her for saying something. As a mother myself, I have felt the pressure to get back to my tiny frame after having a baby. It isn’t always so easy, especially when you’re adjusting to a whole new life. I am glad she spoke up. It is awful that women are expected to fit back into their jeans immediately after birth. Yes, some women are able to do that because of genetics, but that isn’t always the case.
guest
nobody gives a shit.
guest
Hahaha magazine caught out lieing ¬¬
guest
@daylightbreaker@xanga - agreed!
guest
Wow, those assholes even photoshopped her BABY
guest
Good for her – it sounds like she addressed it in a good way (non-catty) as well.
guest
go kourtney!! good for her for saying something. she looks much prettier and natural in the first picture.
sunflower / 282 posts
au naturel is the way to goooo =)
guest
Props to her.
magnolia / 1354 posts
Photoshopping to “enhance” is common but this is just not legit. She literally lost like 100 pounds in one second. Haha, even though she looks better on the magazine cover…it is better to be at least more towards the “truth.”
guest
it’s aint gonna stop them from doing it again, but props for trying
hydrangea / 79 posts
You know, I actually prefer the shot of her before they edited and changed things in it. She looks a lot more healthy, normal…and way prettier! Funny how that works. Anyways, I think it’s awesome that she’s so open about this. It also makes me disappointed in OK! magazine… As a major mag., they should know better…once again, in a strange way, even though I’m not an OK! fan/reader, I feel betrayed.
guest
She looks better before her picture was Photoshopped :/.
guest
Wow I was expecting it to be the other way around. Kudos. At least some celebs have a brain that works
guest
More power to her for not being ashamed of her post pregnancy body. More women should be this way.
daisy / 556 posts
Yes, they should. Also, in this case I think its false advertisement. They only did that to promote that she was on an “amazing diet,” and whatnot. They probably covered their asses just by how they worded it, but implied or outright stated, I consider it false advertising. And its really ridiculous. I’m glad that Kourtney Kardashian spoke out about this to set the record straight, and I DO think that more celebrity moms and celebrities in general should take this same stance. Maybe, if that happens, then magazines will think twice about doing it without the consent of the celeb, only because it won’t win them any points to try to deceive the public since the celebs would be more likely to say, “hey wait, that’s not true,” which kind of does put a damper on what the magazine was trying to do in the first place.
What I really hate is that even when they’re called on it, a lot of magazines say that they didn’t do it, or that it was an accident, or any number of other lame-ass excuses. Has OK! Magazine had their say about this, yet?
guest
Good for her. She doesn’t look bad at all in the non-photoshopped pic.
guest
Yay! Good for her!
sunflower / 290 posts
she looks great in the first picture. it looks like they photo shopped 40 pounds off of her, and yet they’re claiming she dieted it off. this kind of dishonesty is totally unfair
guest
i used to not like kourtney kardashian but this gives me a whole new respect for her.
if the celebrity didn’t lose the weight it’s kinda hard to put her on the magazine and advertise the method upon how she did. so good for her, glad she stepped up and said something.
guest
I hope they didn’t photoshop the baby to look thinner.
guest
Kudos to her.
guest
Good for her! Kudos, props, whatever!
guest
good for her.
she actually looked better before the photoshopping anyways…
guest
@SexcapadesAnonymous@xanga - with your italics, exclamation marks in your previous comment and use of bad words, you and kourtney need anger management pronto! you have your opinion and I have mine. I don’t care if I offend her. she is a fucked up whore. she didn’t do anything in particular to me but I favor kim kardashian=P she is endorsing diet pills as seen on the healthkicker article. this is for publicity. I don’t buy into her angry b.s.
guest
@P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - Okay for one, I always use italics so that doesn’t mean shit. And I don’t see one exclamation mark in my comment. Yeah, she sure is a whore even though she is with her baby’s father and knew it was his all along. I used bad words huh? What about your bad words?
I think you are too pathetic to put up a good argument. Nothing you have said so far makes sense or is even true, and this isn’t referring to the opinionated parts of your comment.
You stupid bitch…
guest
@SexcapadesAnonymous@xanga - I was referring to the exclamation marks in your original comment. you’re just a catty cunt that likes to argue and name call first because you are an attention whore or drama queen. I don’t “keep up with the kardashians” to know her baby daddy or whatever. my comments are usually sarcastic. get over it.
guest
@SexcapadesAnonymous@xanga - you have the perogative to call me a stupid bitch based on your view of me and I have the perogative to call her a whore not based on her baby daddy, but she looks whorey. who is she to you that you care about her reputation so much to defend her?! you’re the pathetic one.
guest
they trimmed down her stomach too! lol Thats the only good thin about the photoshopped one,other than that the original is best =]
guest
she looked better in the first picture. good for her not caring about the media..
guest
They even photoshopped the baby o_o
guest
@P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - Obviously you’re the one that needs to get over it. I’m not the one who is worked up over here. Did it ever occur to you that I called you a stupid bitch to get you all worked up? And you know what, it worked. So if you’re gonna be a hypocrite and tell me not to name call yet you do it yourself, then don’t get to upset.
Boo hoo wah wah
guest
@P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - Oh and by the way, I love to name call and I love to bitch people out. You’re never gonna win with me when it comes to making me feel bad about the things I do to other people. But you can try if you want….
guest
@SexcapadesAnonymous@xanga - you were the one annoyed with my comment to kourtney and you replied with a bitchy comment saying that I was being a bitch. you are the hypocrite first. I was giving you a taste of your own medicine by calling you a cunt. you can’t stand that I call her a whore because it struck a nerve, you are a literal whore, worse than kourtney, whose appearance looks like a whore, but you love attention more than kourtney with your sexcadapes anonymous username, profile pic of a mouth about to devour a hotdog and you have one night stands and fuck buddies and actually blogging about your sluttiness. forget about kourtney, you are a cheap whore.
guest
@P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - It’s not a hotdog, it’s a banana covered in chocolate. GET YOUR SHIT STRAIGHT!!
guest
definitely. i mean come on. she just gave birth. get off her ass media. lol. if she’s proud of her body, who are we to say? besides she looks so much better without the photoshop
guest
nice
like everyone else has said, she looks better when she’s not photoshopped.
guest
That’s cool. She actually looks way better in the photo that’s not photoshopped.
guest
That’s really respectable that she’s against it!
guest
She looked better unedited :] Her hair and skin seem way healthier.
daffodil / 1540 posts
she looks beautiful in the first picture. the second just looks…fake.

She didn’t need to be photoshopped at all.

Wow, respect!!

Gosg, what can i believe?
guest
wow, they even photo chopped the baby?
rose / 781 posts
Wow, good for her. You go Kourtney!
guest
Thank you Kourtney Kardashian, for speaking out and telling the truth!
This is why the Kardashians are awesome.
guest
I think she looks better before hand. People should be proud of their image on the cover of a magazine or not. If not, be your own critique and shape your body the way you like it.
guest
It almost has to be a different pose, but either way they photoshopped the shit out of her. The color and skin tones look waaaaaaaay better in the un-retouched pic; her skin looks blotchy and weird on the mag cover. Normally the Kardashians really annoy me but you’ve got to hand it to her for speaking up against them totally photographically altering her body.
