Paid to Make Women Look Beautiful? Crystal Renn Photo Shopped & Chopped
Crystal Renn, a well-known plus size model, was photographed for Ford Models looking rather skinny. This of course led to controversy about Renn’s weight and whether she was struggling again with an eating disorder or being asked to lose weight by designers. Crystal Renn commented along with her agent sending a video from the actual photo shoot to prove that once again EXTREME photo chopping took place!
