The backlash came after Alex – who is known for speaking out about body positivity – was called out by TikTok users after they spotted she photoshopped one of her photos with pals in Las Vegas.

Fans noticed that the photo she shared on her page looked different to the one her BFF Lauren posted.

In one of the TikTok clips criticizing the blogger, a before and after of the photo in question was accompanied by Alex’s own voice, saying “girls we need to start owning what we look like. Tweak a couple things if you’ve got a pimple or something, but don’t morph your entire body.”

CAUGHT OUT

The photo in question showed Alex had tweaked her waist and hips to look more hourglass.

On her podcast, Alex explained: “I go onto Instagram and open my DMs and there’s a DM from a girl that says ‘go f**k yourself, you should kill yourself, you are the biggest f**king poser,

“You say you don’t edit your photos, you’ve been exposed you f**king c**t.” The person also sent a link to the TikTok.

Alex went on to explain why she edited the photo, which was taken while celebrating her most recent birthday in Vegas, saying she felt “uncomfortable” with how she looked.

She said on the podcast: “I saw those photos and I was upset, but immediately Lauren wanted to post it and I said hold on, I want to edit this photo.

‘I ABSOLUTELY EDIT PHOTOS’

“I have edited photos before, I don’t edit absolutely every single one, but I absolutely edit photos.”

“I didn’t like how my body looked. That night I felt so good and confident and happy, and then I saw those photos and I was upset.

Alex said she installed FaceTune to edit the photo to make her body look more “hourglass.”

Alex has since deleted the edited photo from her page.

The influencer admitted she started editing her photos when she got insecure about her legs when she was 14, after becoming aware of what boys were saying about her.

“The first thing I ever photoshopped was to make my legs look bigger.

“I remember I got bullied for how thin my legs were. I got called malnourished when I was younger, people told me I had an eating disorder.”
