After fans and critics alike spent most of Wednesday criticizing Kim Kardashian for her tasteless birthday celebrations, it seemed inevitable the socialite would find herself the target of more scorn. This time for allegedly Photoshopping her arm out of an Instagram post alongside sisters Kourtney and Khloe.

The privileged post angered many on social media, with one person commenting, “Kim, you’re really grinding my gears.” But several eagle-eyed followers pointed out that Kim’s right arm appeared to have been edited out of the photo.

“Nice Photoshop Kim,” one person tweeted, while another added, “so no one’s gonna point out her missingarm huh.”

Of course, Kim’s arm might have been neatly tucked behind her sister Khloe’s back, but this isn’t the first time she’s been accused of faking photos that have been uploaded to her social media pages. Last month, Kim was forced to address a longstanding rumour that she has six toes after an ad for her KKW Fragrance unintentionally made it look like she had an extra toe on her left foot.

“Everyone thinks that I have six toes, and it’s really wild,” she said in an Instagram Story. “But it’s this, part of my foot, that when I wear a shoe just like this it like smashes down right here and in a picture,” Kim said. “I don’t know why, it looks like a sixth toe.”

In 2018, Kim was left on the defensive after she appeared in an image with a squished car in the background, but she blamed a fan for the error.

“I’m seeing online and on news media outlets that I suffered a ‘Photoshop fail,'” Kim wrote in a post on her site, Cosmopolitan reported. “So ridiculous! I reposted a picture on Instagram that a fan had already posted — I only added a filter to it … It looks like the fan mirrored the photo, which is the reason the car looks like that.”

As Kim marked her 40th birthday in Tahiti, the Kardashians are being mocked for being out of touch for lavishly celebrating during a pandemic that has killed more than 1.1 million people worldwide.

“We danced, rode bikes, swam near whales, kayaked, watched a movie on the beach and so much more,” Kardashian wrote on Twitter. “I realize that for most people, this is something that is so far out of reach right now, so in moments like these, I am humbly reminded of how privileged my life is.

The goal, Kim added, was to “pretend things were normal.” But she was inundated with stories from people who had lost their jobs and suffered health scares due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

I couldn’t visit my grandpa when he was in the hospital with heart failure for three weeks in March. We cancelled our August wedding and our November honeymoon. I (haven’t) hugged my mom once in 8 months,” one user remarked on Twitter. “This is beyond privilege, this is disgusting.”

Rock legend Peter Frampton also weighed in, tweeting, “Are you that insensitive you don’t realize this is not what the majority of people during the worst covid spike yet want to hear? People are going to food banks not private islands.”

Despite the backlash, Kim’s sister, Khloe, defended the party, which reportedly cost $1 million.

“I did hear that people were upset that we all went out of town. I don’t really know the extent of it,” Khloe said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday. “But this year is a frustrating year. I get it. I think there’s so many frustrations going on for everybody. But also it’s her 40th. This is something that she wanted to do for us. It was such a nice thing.”

Khloe also said that the Tetiaroa Atoll resort in Tahiti was grateful for the business that Kim’s celebrations brought to the island.

“So many people said that we were their first party of guests that they’ve had in months and what it’s done for them to be able to pay their bills or to be able to do stuff for their family, just hearing those messages when we were there, we felt really good and we felt so safe.”
