They made her look dead! Omg that is horrible why did they do that. Jesus. Where do they get off.

Agree, her skin looks gray where they photoshopped her!

They made her look like Jefrey Star's hispanic cousin.

Today I learned that Jefrey in Spanish is Godofredo. So yes, they made her look like a Godofredo Estrella

I had to look her up to see what she looks like usually because I’m not really familiar with her….my God they really did take the piss. The cover looks nothing like. I’d call them out too.

Wtf? She’s gorgeous and they made her look like handsome Squidward

Look like a totally different person

She is gorgeous and they did her dirty with that edit

they made her look awful omfg.

why did they make her look scary wtf

That is so bad, I don’t blame her at all for being mad about the way they made her look.

I recently saw a video of her, while her cheekbones and jaw are fairly pronounced her face is NOT gaunt like this nor is her complexion... mummified clay. She's a healthy-looking, very animated, person. So I agree some unfortunate choices were made here 😬. The creative team/-director fumbled pretty badly.

I have no clue who she is, so I had to look her up. She looks beautiful naturally. They totally disrespected her by making her look awful.

She looks much nicer without photoshop

wtf they gave her the maulourished special...

Wow they really did her DIRTY

She looks like a man wearing a wig. That’s baaaaaaaad photoshop

I like many ppl had to look her up. DAMN, she is a BEAUTIFUL person! That cover looks nothing like her!

omg they didn't need to do that to her. She's a beautiful woman, no surprise she's mad. Anyone would be

They did her dirty! 😭

The Kardashians would never

I thought that was Law Roach.

Dont agents have to okay whatever they post? I'm sorry i find it hard to believe either her or someone on her team did not know about this. And can the magazines please stop doing this?!?!

What does this person actually look like? Because the “example” pic is also clearly retouched. I think it can be a tough lesson to learn when we are so used to being empowered to edit our own photos however we like - and then you work with a brand like GQ and they can do whatever they like to your image.

Edited

Karol recently performed in my country on live TV, and she looks the same as her IG pictures. Of course she has the occasional filter and subtle retouches in her Instagram, but in general she looks exactly the same and not like the GQ cover lmao, she really looks strange in that photo.

I’m confused. Is she white? Because they made her look black.

It can be about both. I’d be mad at that too, and also that they will warp your image to what they think looks better, whether you think you looked bomb before or not. It sends the wrong warped message. You got to expect some level shooping in pro pics, but to butcher and transform into looking like another is fucked up. Esp if you asked them not to.

(Edited sp)

They definitely slimmed and flattened her body

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. She said she’s happy with how she looks naturally and she doesn’t like how it was edited I don’t see how that is vain or egotistical?

It's not about whether she looks bad. The image of her doesn't even look like her. She looks altered.

Lowkey true. Lol when the photoshop actually makes ppl look better, they’re quiet 🤫

Of course it’s a statement written by her PR team. Switching it into female empowerment and calling out beauty standards will be much better received than her just straight up saying “y’all made me look ugly.

But can we blame her? Cause why did they make her look dead 💀

Whoever she is, they really did her dirty

I looked her up, and she's gorgeous, what did they do to her 😭
