Pretty Little Liars Star Acknowledges GQ Photoshop: When the cast of the hit television teen drama Pretty Little Liars popped up on the pages of GQ, criticism was, naturally, directed at the magazine for its heavy use of photoshop. At this point, should we really be shocked that magazines and celebrities (even Beyonce) alter photos? That’s what the show's star, Troian Bellisario, told her Instagram followers. “OF COURSE WE WERE!” Bellisario admitted in regards to being photoshopped when posting one of the shoot's photos. She continued to state that followers should “acknowledge how it was achieved” and realize that it isn’t a true representation of their bodies. Shortly after, Bellisario posted multiple unretouched photos from the shoot for comparison. [Cosmopolitan]
