Kerry Washington Reacts to ‘AdWeek’ Photoshopping Her Cover!
Look at a newsstand, and you’re bound to see at least one magazine cover with Kerry Washington‘s face on it. For the past few years, Washington on the cover of a magazine is a new normal.
Her latest cover is for AdWeek, where she discusses her brand partnerships. The cover was released yesterday, but Washington doesn’t seem to be too pleased with the final result.

She used her Instagram to voice her concerns with the cover.
AdWeek responded to Washington’s comments with a statement from Editorial Director James Cooper, saying, “Kerry Washington is a class act. We are honored to have her grace our pages. To clarify, we made minimal adjustments, solely for the cover’s design needs. We meant no disrespect, quite the opposite. We are glad she is enthusiastic about the piece and appreciate her honest comments.”
It’s not a secret basically all images which appear in magazines are Photoshopped, but fans and celebrities alike have not been silent when they feel an image is so edited, it no longer looks real.
This also isn’t the first time where Washington appeared on the cover of a magazine and was Photoshopped to the point she looked lighter and she was represented inaccurately. It happened with the March 2015 issue of InStyle and the December 2013 cover of Lucky.
