Talk about pop culture chaos - we have Iggy Azalea signing off Twitter because she has cellulite (gasp!) and the leaking of Beyonce’s original L’Oreal pictures… before airbrushing (gasp again!) Really people?!
Let’s start with Iggy - who, besides being a rapper, may be even more well-known by her backside. She didn’t just do a song with Jennifer Lopez called “Booty Remix” for nothing! So, it confuses me when a picture is shared of Iggy in her swimsuit showing minimal cellulite. Yes, in my opinion - very minimal, and it created such an uproar. You would have thought the woman was caught beating a puppy on vacation instead of just, well… walking in a bikini!
But now, because her derriere is not under perfect lighting or airbrushed or greased up for a video, we don’t like it anymore? Apparently, many did not and attacked her on social media. So much so, she called the internet ugly. She tweeted her thoughts on social media saying it is negative and draining, and at times it makes her angry. So, she quit. One of her last tweets was this:
“My management will tweet/run my accounts from today onwards with updates etc unless any message is signed -IA. Love you all. Peace out!”
My thoughts: Iggy, don’t get off social media for this. You are in a lose/lose situation. You felt forced off Twitter because of those untouched photos. But look at what happens when pictures are re-touched. Many don’t take too kindly to that either.
CHAOS!
