The truth is out!
After Kerry Washington‘s March cover of InStyle was revealed on Wednesday, the mag received backlash for possibly digitally enhancing her skin tone!
It seemed Photoshop was to blame!
But the glossy has since released a statement, sharing:
“We are super fans of Kerry Washington here at InStyle. To feature her on the cover of our March spring fashion issue is both an honor and a delight. We have heard from those who have spoken out about our newsstand cover photograph, concerned that Kerry’s skin tone was lightened. While we did not digitally lighten Kerry’s skin tone, our cover lighting has likely contributed to this concern. We understand that this has resulted in disappointment and hurt. We are listening, and the feedback has been valuable. We are committed to ensuring that this experience has a positive influence on the ways in which we present all women going forward.”
How well written! Hopefully the mag can learn from this experience!

Even Kerry also commented on the controversy in a way Olivia Pope would have been proud of! She divulged to Twitter:
It’s so true! There are issues that just can’t be ignored and we’re so glad that InStyle owned up to it.
What do U think???
