Is Britney Spears a slave 4 Photoshop? (Sorry.) 

The pop star is raising some eyebrows Monday after sharing a steamy Instagram of herself in a bikini. Her followers immediately began questioning if the image was Photoshopped to make Spears appear thinner.

Several fans pointed out that the pool-surrounding concrete, just below the small of Spears's back, seems to disappear, making it look as if she's floating on a mix of grass and water. 

Godney, amirite?

The singer has yet to confirm or deny the rumors. 

Spears is just the latest on a long list of celebrities -- including the Kardashians and Beyoncé -- whom the Internet has accused of editing their pictures. Celebrities like Demi Lovato, Ronda Rousey and Zendaya have famously spoke out against using Photoshop, whether on their social media pictures or in magazine photoshoots. 

Regardless, Spears has previously shared several crop-top and bikini photos on her Instagram, revealing her famously-toned midsection, so we doubt there was much editing to be done. 




After all, it's Britney, bitch.
