This Victoria’s Secret Model Is Missing a Chunk of Her Butt

A Victoria’s Secret model posing with her back to a wall showing off a teal pair of mesh-back panties was the unfortunate victim of a heavy-handed retoucher. An entire chunk of her most likely round in real life left butt cheek was chopped off, her thighs are missing necessary muscles to keep her standing, and one bicep is being attacked by her hair’s shadow while the other one had some sculpting done with the help of a computer magic.

When digital manipulation disasters occur, there’s typically a chorus of naysayers dragging the company at fault down into the gutter. And this situation was no exception: “A Pixar movie looks more real than this,” Ashley Durant wrote on Facebook. Katie Jaggi called the model a “one cheek wonder” while Mireyah Polston admitted the image made her feel better about her flat butt. Janelle Gramme wrote that the message in Victoria’s Secret photos to her seem to be, “Get skinny get skinny get skinny so you can be hot hot hot!” Am I the only one that hears that?”

But unlike many mess-ups, this one has actually inspired a conversation regarding the messages Victoria’s Secret projects to its fans. Some were certainly offended by the hack job, but this led others to rationally discuss why. Nicole Simmons-Berrien pointed out that the company markets towards a certain group and there’s nothing wrong with that and Alisha Paramour agreed, noting that the lingerie purveyor looks for models of specific sizes for practical reasons such as promoting uniformity.

The winner of the debacle has to be the underwear, though. Overwhelmingly, all the commenters want to purchase them. Get them while you can! There’s currently a special offer of 3 pairs for $33.
