“This is NOT what my body has ever looked like or will ever look like.”
Lena Dunham has called out Spanish magazine Tentaciones for airbrushing her body on its cover so she is unrecognisable.
The Girls star shared the image on her Instagram page on Monday night, insisting that her body looks nothing like how the magazine made her look and asking the publishers to "be honest" with their readers.
Tentaciones, which means "Temptations" in English, is a monthly supplement that comes free with Spain's highest-circulating newspaper, El País.
Bosses at the magazine have since published an open letter to Lena insisting they actually bought the picture as it was from the Corbis agency and didn't photoshop anything.
For this cover we used a picture of the session that you made in 2013 Ruven Afanador photographer, published at the time by Entertainment Weekly. From TEMPTATIONS, we acquire that picture through the Corbis agency and use the original sent to us without applying any retouching. Those who know and follow our magazine know that we do not use Photoshop or other digital tools to change the physique of the people featured on our cover or inside stories. This time we just cut the original image to fit the format of our cover.
