Jamie Lee Curtis applauds Karol G for calling out GQ Mexico for photoshopping her body and face
  • On Saturday, Jamie Lee Curtis took to Instagram to praise singer Karol G for calling out GQ Mexico.
  • On Friday, Karol G slammed the magazine over the "disrespectful" photo it used for its April cover.

On Saturday, Jamie Lee Curtis took to Instagram to show her support for reggaeton singer Karol G amidst her row with GQ Mexico over the magazine's April cover shoot. Karol G called out the outlet on her Instagram Friday, saying that the heavily edited cover image "does not represent me."

Curtis praised Karol G for speaking out about the cover photo, and stressed the importance of natural representation.

"We are human beings. We are not AI and this genocide against what is naturally beautiful is alarming and needs to be talked about," Curtis wrote in her Instagram caption.

"I'm very encouraged that a younger person is joining the chorus of disapproval," Curtis continued. "The cosmeceutical industrial complex wants you to look in the mirror and hate yourself and then buy their bullshit."

The day before, Karol G had shared a selfie on Instagram with a caption that called out GQ Mexico for retouching her cover photo.

"I don't even know where to start this message... Today my GQ magazine cover was made public, a cover with an image that DOES NOT represent me," Karol G wrote in her caption.

"My face does not look like this, my body does not look like that and I feel very happy and comfortable with how I look naturally," Karol G continued.

The Colombian singer, whose full name is Carolina Giraldo Navarro, said that the photoshopped image was "disrespectful" to all women.

"I understand the repercussions this can have, but beyond feeling it's disrespectful to me, it's to the women that we wake up every day looking to feel comfortable with ourselves despite society's stereotypes," the singer concluded in her caption.

GQ Magazine did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Curtis has long been vocal about the dangers of cosmetic procedures. In October 2021, Curtis spoke to Fast Company about her own negative experience with plastic surgery.

"I tried plastic surgery and it didn't work. It got me addicted to Vicodin," Curtis said to the outlet. "I'm 22 years sober now."

"The current trend of fillers and procedures, and this obsession with filtering, and the things that we do to adjust our appearance on Zoom are wiping out generations of beauty," Curtis continued. "Once you mess with your face, you can't get it back."
