Blake Lively Apologizes for Mocking Kate Middleton’s ‘Photoshop Fails’ Following Cancer Diagnosis Announcement
Recently, Blake Lively apologized for mocking Kate Middleton’s ‘Photoshop fails’ on social media. Her apology followed Middleton’s cancer diagnosis and treatment announcement. On Instagram, Lively said she was “mortified” by her actions after hearing Middleton’s health news.
The controversy started with Lively’s edited March 15 photo for Betty Buzz. The removed image, featuring her with a big thumb and floating lemon, mocked a March 10 Royal Family photo. Editing flaws led to the removal of Middleton’s photo from media, making her admit to the photo editing.
Lively’s post fueled speculation about Middleton’s public absence, sparking conspiracy theories. The mood shifted when Middleton revealed her cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy after surgery.
In her apology, Lively wrote, “I’m sure no one cares today but I feel like I have to acknowledge this. I made a silly post around the ‘photoshop fails’ frenzy, and oh man, that post has me mortified today. I’m sorry. Sending love and well wishes to all, always.” The actress’s statement reflects a change in tone and an expression of support for Middleton during this challenging time.
Middleton’s announcement drew widespread support, highlighting the need for privacy and respect. She admitted the diagnosis and treatment were hard on her family but thanked her medical team.
