Singer and actress Jennifer Hudson was furious when she was ‘photoshopped’ to look slimmer than she was.
The star – who has lost over 36kgs over the last two years – was upset that images of her when she was bigger were altered by a publication to make her appear thinner as she felt it was sending out the wrong message to her fans.
“It’s like, ‘Where’s the rest of me?’ They photoshopped me probably to the size I am now on that cover, when we all know I was nowhere near that.” She says.
“To me, it did not send out a good message. And it did not represent me well. Did I not just prove that talent is enough if I made it this far? Being who I am, being the size that I am?”
Last year, Jennifer opened her own weight loss centre.
The Dreamgirls star – who has lost over five dress sizes following the birth of her son David in August 2009 – launched the Weight Watchers Jennifer Hudson Center in September in her native Chicago.
The actress – who is engaged to WWE wrestler David Otunga – said: “I never thought I would make it to have my own centre. I’m so honoured to be here and see this day.”
A portion of the facility’s profits will go to children’s charity the Julian D. King Gift Foundation, which was set up by Jennifer in memory of her late nephew, Julian King.
