Fans claimed Kim Kardashian photoshopped her belly button out of recent photos

On Apr. 24, Kim Kardashian shared a series of photos on Instagram. The three pictures showed the shapewear mogul wearing a flesh-toned bra and underwear set from her SKIMS collection and a pair of dark sweatpants by a pool. 

The high-cut underwear peeked out several inches above the waistband of Kardashian’s pants, and her belly button is not visible in the photos.

“You forgot to leave in your bellybutton!” one fan commented on the photo, while another fan wrote, “Where on earth is your belly button, yo??”

Kim Kardashian might think fans are “dumb” for accusing her of Photoshopping her belly button, but she and her family family have been called out several times for digitally altering their Instagram photos. 

For example, in October 2020 Kardashian shared a photo of herself and two of her sisters, Kourtney and Khloé, on a beach celebrating her 40th birthday. Besides getting heat for traveling amid global lockdowns caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Kardashian also received several comments about edits made to the photo. Many fans remarked that her arm appeared to be missing

In May 2020, fans accused Khloé Kardashian of editing a photo so heavily that she accidentally removed half of her necklace from an image she shared on Instagram

And in August 2019, Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner were dragged on Twitter for pictures that seemed to be edited so much that both sisters appeared to have six toes on one foot.
