Victoria’s Secret faces Facebook backlash after editing out butt cheek

“I don’t think you can call it “cheeky” if she only has 1 cheek,” wrote an observant commenter. While another blasted the photoshopping as “horrible,” telling Victoria’s Secret it should learn from American Eagle’s lingerie company Aerie, which doesn’t Photoshop its models.

“Yes another reason I (along with MANY others) will never shop from you guys. Times are changing; it’s time you guys caught up. #NotBuyingIt.,” they wrote.

Another person created a newly edited picture (right) to the old edited picture (left):

Victoria’s Secret didn’t immediately respond to Digiday’s inquiry about why, or even how, this happened.

It’s the latest in a seemingly never ending series of bizarre Photoshops that was approved by Victoria’s Secret to be posted on Facebook. Other examples of its overzealous editing include a model who’s had her ribs dissected, creating a contorted stomach, or the company removing the left arm of another model, and, in another instance, editing out a model’s inner thighs.

It’s either a diabolical way to gain extra press or Victoria’s Secret’s photo editors are just really bad at their jobs.
