The Beyonce World first published the outtakes, but the images of the Queen B with less-than-perfect skin have since gone viral on Twitter:

Others simply refused to believe the photos are real:

I have seen Beyoncé in person. What she looks like in pictures is what she looks like in real life. Those "leaked" pictures are fake.

Unretouched photos of Beyoncé have surfaced: http://t.co/EC6yphDBbo pic.twitter.com/d2jdRfgRKf

The site, which first published the pics, deleted the photos just hours after releasing them, explaining:
Due to the disdain of the BeyHive, we have removed the photos. We don't want to cause any drama, nor do we wish to start fan wars. Some of the things we have seen posted were just horrible, and we don't want any parts of it. We were just posting the photos to share the fact that our queen is naturally beautiful, at the same time she is just a regular woman.
