She was accused of heavily editing the latest promo for a SKIMS commercial earlier this week.
But on Friday, Kim Kardashian appeared to brush off any controversy as she proudly showed off the latest billboard campaign for her underwear range, that showed the allegedly altered visual from the ad.
Claims that her commercial had been doctored went viral this week, after a TikTok user posted the footage with the caption, ‘Who approved of this editing?’ and pointed out that Kim’s finger ‘completely distorts’ when she touches her underwear.
A SKIMS spokesperson later said the video ad was ‘pulled’ and they apologized ‘for any inconvenience this has caused Kim and our customers.’

The video in question – viewed more than 24 million times on TikTok – clearly shows Kim’s finger become distorted in length when she reaches towards her hip to pull her undergarment and snap it back.
A rep for the reality star put the snafu down to an ‘error’ in the editing process, saying: ‘The Skims commercial that aired last week featuring the Fits Everybody collection did initially have an error as a result of the video losing its quality during the uploading process.’
The SKIMS statement added: ‘Immediately after it was noticed by the team, the video was pulled, and the glitch-free version was uploaded and ran for the remainder of the time on air. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused Kim and our customers.’

‘Overall, I really just wanted to give people options when getting dressed,’ she said.

‘In doing this, it was especially important that we were size-inclusive and offered a range of colors.’
It was through her own experience DIY-ing shapewear that Kim realized the business potential.
‘I used to cut up and sew different styles of shapewear together to create the silhouette I wanted because I could never find the shape I was looking for.’
‘Other brands would either flatten my curves, pinch into my skin or roll down. I would also dye pieces with tea bags to match my skin tone as there was such a limited offering of colors on the market.’
