Kim Kardashian, 43, is under fire from fans after recent photos surfaced showing what some believe to be edited features, particularly lumps under her eyes. The photos were taken at her son Saint’s basketball game, where Kardashian’s face seemed noticeably different.
Attempting to conceal her cheeks under sunglasses, Kardashian was photographed holding her son Psalm, 4, as they arrived at the auditorium in Calabasas, California.
Kim sported a casual look with black baggy pants, an oversized jacket, flip-flops, and sunglasses, complemented by her newly dyed blond hair styled in a low bun. Psalm wore a sports jersey, jean shorts, and sneakers.
The critics were quick to appear
Reddit users were quick to point out discrepancies in the photos, noting that up-close shots appeared unedited, revealing lumps under Kardashian’s eyes and a more natural look. However, in the distance shots, her cheeks seemed unblemished and her lips appeared more plump than usual, leading to speculation about potential editing.
Many fans speculated about the cause, with some attributing the changes to Botox and plastic surgery, rumors that have followed Kardashian for years. One Reddit user compared “paid paparazzi pics” to “normal paparazzi pics,” suggesting that the edited photos lacked the characteristic puffiness seen in the unedited shots.
“What are those lumps under her glasses?” one user asked, with another suggesting Botox and claiming Kardashian is “addicted to it.” Comments ranged from critiques of her appearance to observations that she no longer looked like herself.
Haters hate her signature pose
This isn’t the first time Kardashian’s appearance has sparked controversy. Earlier this month, fans pleaded with her to retire her trademark duck face pout after she shared a selfie on Instagram showcasing her new blonde hair. In the photo, the celebrity can be seen in a dressing room, pursing her lips at the camera, prompting comments from fans urging her to find a new pose.
Whether these latest photos are the result of editing or simply unflattering angles, it seems Kim Kardashian’s every move continues to be under intense scrutiny from fans and critics alike.
