Screengrab of Ronda Rousey’s Instagram post.
After posting a Photoshopped photo of herself, Ronda Rousey quickly apologized for the gaffe.
Rousey posted a preview photo of her in guesting at The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, but commenters pointed out that the photo had been altered to show a slimmer arm.
The former UFC champion then posted an apology along with the original, unedited photo beside the altered one to show the comparison.
“I have to make an apology to everyone, I was sent a picture to share on social for Fallon that was altered without me knowing to make my arms look smaller,” Rousey posted on Instagram. “I won’t say by who, I know it was done with severely misplaced intentions, but this goes against my everything I believe and I am extremely proud of every inch of my body.”
Rousey has been criticized before for her muscular arms but she countered saying every piece of her has a function.
She is now a cover girl for Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Edition where she wore nothing but body paint.
“And I can assure you all it will never happen again. I could not be more appalled and hope you all forgive me.”
