I respect that America may have dropped a few pounds, but this picture is clearly altered, she simply looks disproportionate. I hope Glamour can recognize that its readers aren't as blind as they seem to think we are.

This is not what she look like. At the Emmys which took place around the same time as this photo shoot, if not later, her body looked nothing like this. This may be what she looks like now, but this is not what she looked like then. Try again. Sam, are serious? This is not what she look like.

She went on a diet and lost a few pounds. If you look at more recent photos you can tell that she actually looks like that. I understand why everyone is freaking out and all, but the reality being; she really looks like that now. She lost weight. Yes, it is obviously poorly photoshopped. But she does really look like that now. Actually, she’s not all that photoshopped. She went on a diet and lost a few pounds.

I was appalled because I love America and they made her look like a freak. I immediately went home and emailed Glamour to complain and ask why in the world they would do that to her. They actually replied and told me they didn't photoshop her at all, and that is how she appeared for the shoot in June. Yeah, right. Who's gonna believe that?
