Nelly Furtado has spoken about the ways magazines used to edit her images during her career in the early 2000s, saying they would “lighten” her “olive skin”.In an interview with People, the singer shared that she was subject to “a lot of airbrushing” in editorial images during her early career.
She also revealed that some publications would go as far as to change her skin tone, saying: “I have olive skin, and they’d kind of lighten my skin a lot in photos.”Furtado also shared how they would edit the size of her hips. “They would always kind of cut off in editorials,” she said, resulting in her becoming “kind of angry about” the beauty standards set by the media.However, the ‘Maneater’ singer shared that she “felt so lucky and blessed” to have had the support of her family during that time. “I always had such a good team around me, that was family,” she said. “My team around me felt so solid and really looking out for my best interests.
