There aren’t many women around who would take offense at a Vanity Fair photographer photoshopping them to look more attractive. In fact, most women would be thrilled just to appear in the magazine. So Rumer Willis (above, center) proved herself one of a kind when she called out Vanity Fair for altering her chin in a photo. We witnessed the cruel comments people made online about her appearance when she was growing up and felt awful for her. She has apparently gotten over it and has confidence in her looks today. Rumer said “Altering someone’s beauty is a form of bullying.” The photo never appeared in the magazine, only online, and the photographers responsible claim they only made corrections necessary because they used a wide angle lens and never intended to change her looks. We side with Rumer, and are amazed that she has the courage to declare herself beautiful while most models don’t think they are. Wouldn’t it be nice if the pursuit of beauty was NOT emphasized to little girls growing up?

Wait a minute….didn’t she have cosmetic surgery on that chin of hers?? She obviously didn’t think she was all that gorgeous.
When ur in the modelling/entertainment/celebrity business — there are tons of people (mostly male) behind the scenes dictating how a female should look. They expect u to look like a walking stick – eat carrots for breakfast/lunch/dinner and put on a smile.
THIS BECAUSE SHE WAS BORN UGLY.
Why is everything ‘bullying’ now? So sick of hearing about it.
Rumer doth protest too much.
This was by far the most flattering shot of her, ever.
No doubt she’s using it as a template for her surgeon, all of her “bullying” horsesh*t notwithstanding.
To her credit, she looks much better now than when she first appeared on the scene. And all the stories about Bruce and Demi tying pork chops around their girls’ necks–to encourage the family dogs to play with them–were cruel.
HILARIOUS, but cruel.
She looks like Lena Dunham
