Rumer Willis is the latest in a string of high-profile women to speak out against the practice of heavy-handed photoshop, following her appearance in the latest issue of Vanity Fair.
Willis — the eldest daughter of actors Demi Moore and Bruce Willis — posed for a portrait series of famous siblings alongside her sisters Tallulah and Scout.
While the shoot was intended to depict the closeness between the siblings, the actress’ attention was quickly drawn to something else: the fact her jaw appeared significantly smaller than usual.
Rather than sit back and accept it, the 27-year-old took her umbrage straight to Instagram. In a post yesterday, she slammed the photographer for editing her appearance and asked her fans to stop sharing the image.
“I find it really offensive for anyone to try and change the way you look so drastically. I love the way I look and I won’t support anyone who would feel a need to change the way I look to make me beautiful,” Willis captioned the photo.
“Whether or not they realise it, it is a form of bullying, which I won’t stand for.”
Many of Willis’ 575,000 followers rallied around her and shared messages of support.
“Good for you. It’s also reinforcing unrealistic image ideals for young girls. So tired of that shit,” one wrote. “This Photoshop being the norm BS has to stop. Nothing is real anymore!” posted another.

My niece photoshops every picture of herself and I was prissy and judgemental about it, until she said she could photoshop any photo of me which sounded pretty good to me.
