Kendall Jenner denied involvement in what she called a “photoshopped” version of an old picture of her that stirred controversy online.

The image showed Jenner wearing a black mask and holding a cardboard sign that said “Black Lives Matter.” But her shadow on the concrete indicated that the sign had been edited into the picture and wasn’t actually there in real life.

How ‘white savior’ films like ‘The Help’ and ‘Green Book’ hurt Hollywood

“Green Book”, winner of the 2019 Oscar for Best Picture, has been described as a “white savior” movie, a movie that features a white character saving people of color from situations they couldn’t save themselves from. These films tend to further negative stereotypes about people of color, removing their agency in acting for themselves. White savior films also often reinforce the idea that racism is largely gone today. As “The Help” tops Netflix’s trending page, see how movies from “Lawrence of Arabia” to “Green Book” do a disservice to their viewers.

The edited picture circulated on social media after Andru Edwards, a YouTube tech creator and influencer, posted it on Twitter on Friday, writing, “What’s missing from @KendallJenner’s shadow?”

Spotting edited photos posted by the Kardashian/Jenner family — and celebrities in general — has become an internet pastime. The implication in this case was that Jenner manipulated and posted the photo.

Edwards’ picture appeared to be a screenshot of a Facebook post from a page called 20K. Insider could not find any record of such a page posting the image, and Edwards did not immediately return a request for comment.

A Twitter user with the handle @monmon_jones replied to the tweet with the original image of Jenner. Based on Jenner’s outfit and the car behind her, it appeared to have been taken in November when the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star spent a day racing cars with friends including Tyler, the Creator.

Jenner responded to the tweet on Saturday. “This is photoshopped by someone,” she said. “I DID NOT post this.”
