Twitter Spots A Kardashian Photoshop Fail, Calvin Klein Says No Way

One of the things the Kardashians are best known for is appearing in photos, on their social accounts and in magazines. Of course, whenever people share pics, there will be haters out there either mom-shaming them, body-shaming them, or accusing them of Photoshopping their images, and the Kardashians get it all. Usually, they have to either ignore the trolls or stand up for themselves, but after fans called out the family for a Photoshop fail this week, Calvin Klein came to the fam's defense.
It started a few days ago when Kim shared on Twitter an ad the Kardashians and Jenners did for Calvin Klein's Fall 2018 jeans and underwear campaign. The pic wasn't too recent, which is clear because Khloe is still pregnant with True, but that's not what caught everyone's attention. What did was a tiny detail - the lower part of Kourtney's right arm, which the Internet felt proved the pic was altered.

While no one from the family responded, Calvin Klein, Inc. did release a statement which explained that what people are seeing is the result of a lighting issue:
"As you'll see from the high-res version of the image, there are no issues with Kourtney's arm. However, the light is hitting it which makes it slightly less defined. Unfortunately, when the image is posted to social media in a lower-resolution format, the shape of her arm loses its definition, creating the effect which social media users have commented on."
To prove their point, they released a hi-res close-up of the eldest Kardashian's arm:
Seems pretty compelling.
