Beyoncé’s Unretouched Photos Show Her True Beauty.

 

Here we go again. Just days after the internet was buzzing about the leak of Cindy Crawford’s unretouched lingerie pics, over 200 pre-Photoshop pics of Beyoncé have hit the web. The photos, which were unearthed from a 2013 L’Oréal ad campaign and posted on a fan site called The Beyoncé World, show Queen Bey looking beautiful and very real. OK, so she’s not #flawless in every picture, but who is? Her foundation, which is always plastered on for photo shoots, looks heavy, and underneath majorly strong lighting Beyoncé has pretty normal skin—a few bumps, some shine, pores—exactly what you’d expect from ultra close-up photos under extreme lighting at a photo shoot. Had the lighting been softened, and the camera pulled away just a few more inches, the resulting images would have been very different.

  

According to The Beyoncé World, they pulled the images from their site after major backlash on their website. It even resurrected the social media hashtag #BeyHiveAttack. “Due to the disdain of the BeyHive, we have removed the photos,” the site wrote. “We don’t want to cause any drama, nor do we wish to start fan wars. Some of the things we have seen posted were just horrible, and we don’t want any part of it. We were just posting the photos to share the fact that our queen is naturally beautiful, at the same time she is just a regular woman.”

But interestingly, many of Beyoncé’s fans have been incredibly supportive on social media. They are praising the singer for looking beautiful in the un-retouched images, and are happy to see genuine images of Queen Bey.

One of the victims died, while the other, identified by Minaj as Eric, suffered multiple stab wounds that left him in critical condition but he is expected to live.

In a social media post published Wednesday, chart-topping rapper Fabolous identified the dead victim as De’Von Pickett, who is described on his Twitter account as a road and tour manager.

“These guys flew into Philly for my tour rehearsals 2 days ago and were both stabbed last night,” Minaj wrote in a lengthy Instagram post that included a photo of the pair. “#RIPDAYDAY condolences to your family. Unbelievable. Eric (on the right) is recovering. Another senseless act of violence that took the life of a great guy. So sad.”
