We love Kerry Washington as she’s our Natural hair gladiator and a talented actress on the silver screen as well as TV. The 39 year old lovely is so busy with her upcoming HBO movie, Confirmation, her hugely popular TV show, Scandal and being everywhere including on several covers of magazines.
KERRY WASHINGTON: STYLE, HAIR AND THE PURPLE PURSE
She’s in the news again but not for a good reason but as another victim of photoshopping as magazines just cannot seem to leave the beautiful actress’ face, color and body alone. This time Adweek, is on the receiving end of a photoshopping failure for altering Ms. Kerry’s facial features to the point where fans are not the only one balking.

Kerry took to Instagram to share her unhappiness with the cover:
“Look, I’m no stranger to Photoshopping. It happens a lot. In a way, we have become a society of picture adjusters – who doesn’t love a filter?!? And I don’t always take these adjustments to task but I have had the opportunity to address the impact of my altered image in the past and I think it’s a valuable conversation.
Yesterday, however, I just felt weary. It felt strange to look at a picture of myself that is so different from what I look like when I look in the mirror. It’s an unfortunate feeling.
That being said. You all have been very kind and supportive. Also, as I’ve said, I’m very proud of the article.
KERRY WASHINGTON – TEAM NATURAL GLADIATOR
Here is a picture in the magazine she does approve of and where she actually looks like herself.

Adweek editorial director Jim Cooper responded to Washington’s comments, “Happy @kerrywashington was proud of her Adweek profile, sad cover misses for her. Added volume to hair for dramatic effect. No disrespect.” People
We call foul and not the least bit fazed by Adweek’s response as it is obvious the cover picture was grossly adjusted and as a corespondent on Good Morning America pointed out, the picture looks like if Scarlett Johansson and Kerry Washington had a baby.
Yup, they hit the photoshopped nail squarely on the head.
Who’s watching Confirmation later this month? Check it out!
