‘Elle’ Magazine Says They Did Not Lighten Gabourey Sidibe’s Cover
In a statement, Elle said, “Nothing out of the ordinary was done. We have four separate covers this month and Gabby’s cover was not retouched any more or less than the others. … If you take a look at the portfolio, each of the women were shot in different ways and for different reasons.”
Elle’s editor-in-chief Robbie Myers told E! News that Sidibe’s skin was “absolutely not” changed and that she is “sad” over the accusations. She emphasized, “We absolutely did not lighten her skin.”
