In a recent video shared with her TikTok audience of more than 500k followers and subsequently posted on X, she took aim at the excessive use of Photoshop and filters in the influencer sphere.
The video in question highlighted Olivia Dunne's alleged use of Photoshop to alter her images, an issue that has surfaced multiple times in the past.
“We need to talk about this so listen up. This is not just about Livvy Dunne. I know a lot of people do this, but this one really pissed me off today,” she says.
“This Photoshopping issue has gotten so out of control. To the point where Livvy Dunne is caught Photoshopping the length of her hair… huh?”
She continued, “First of all that just sounds like the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. But also, this is sending such a message to the next generation of girls and women, they’re already struggling with this unattainable idea of perfection.”
Hailey Ostrom's blunt critique calls out excessive use of Photoshop
Golfer Hailey Ostrom has taken a bold stand against the rampant use of Photoshop in the world of social media influencers, with LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne at the center of her critique.
Ostrom's impassioned message, delivered via TikTok and X, confronts the harmful impact of digitally altered images on self-esteem and body image perceptions.
Ostrom's critique spared no punches as she said, “Whoever this applies to, you edit your photos so much, you make your stomach so small, you make your waist so small, your butt so big, your chest bigger, your hair longer that women and girls are looking at that thinking I’m not good enough. I’m not small enough. My butt’s not big enough. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard,” Hailey explains.
“I’m going to calm down, but seriously someone needs to stand up to this and I will, but I want more people to stand up to this because it’s sad. So there’s really no excuse for it. Enough with the Photoshop. Stop, you look dumb. It looks dumb,” she concluded.
