Yesterday Khloe Kardashian made headlines with her scandalous PETA ad. The PETA ad incited a firestorm on fashion and celebrity blogs, where Khloe Kardashian’s steamy photo was dismissed as the work of a team of ace Photoshop and airbrushing experts.
Photographer Troy Jensen immediately came to Khloe Kardashian’s defense in an interview with Fashion Rules: “Yes, some blogs are saying I photoshopped her completely. And it really wasn’t the case. Khloe spent a lot of time preparing for the shoot. I clean up all of my pictures a little, but not a ton of retouching was done on this one.”
Jensen continues on to quell the rumors about Khloe Kardashian’s curvier figure compared to her sisters, “It’s true Khloe’s weight fluctuates about five pounds, and people are very unkind sometimes in what they write.”
Big sister Kim Kardashian immediately posted a portion of Troy Jensen’s interview on her blog to aid in Khloe Kardashian’s defense.
