Lena Dunham Calls Out a Mag for Photoshopping; Apologizes When Lena Dunham saw her cover for Tentaciones magazine, she wasn’t ...

When Lena Dunham saw her cover for Tentaciones magazine, she wasn’t happy about the way she looked. Right away, Dunham posted the pic and her thoughts about it on Instagram: “Oh hello El Pais! I am genuinely honored to be on your cover and so happy you licensed a pic by @ruvenafanador, who always makes me feel gorgeous. BUT this is NOT what my body has ever looked like or will ever look like- the magazine has done more than the average photoshop. So if you’re into what I do, why not be honest with your readers? Much love, Lena,” she wrote.

But the Spanish magazine denied the allegations and maintained the original image is unretouched. “Those who know us and follow our magazine know that we do not use Photoshop or other digital tools to change the appearance of people who are on our cover or inside the magazine,” the publication said on its website. According to the newspaper, which publishes the magazine, the image had originally been shot for Entertainment Weekly, and had been approved by Dunham’s publicist. The only change, it said, was cropping to fit the magazine’s style.

Later the same day, Dunham took to Instagram again to issue an apology to the magazine and ask for a subscription. But Dunham never backed down from her criticism of Photoshopping. “Maybe it’s turning 30. Maybe it’s seeing my candidate of choice get bashed as much for having a normal woman’s body as she is for her policies. Maybe it’s getting sick and realizing ALL that matters is that this body work, not that it be milky white and slim. But I want something different now.”

Moving on, Dunham is looking within. “Thanks for helping me figure that out and sorry to make you the problem, you cool Spanish magazine you,” the actress wrote. “Time to get to the bottom of this in a bigger way. Time to walk the talk.”
