Kerry Washington isn't opposed to a good Instagram filter once in a while, but she's not down with looking like a completely different person in a cover photo.
The actress called out AdWeek for using a heavily edited photo of her on its cover. She wrote a lengthy post on Instagram about how she was excited to grace the cover of the magazine -- but was surprised to see the image they used.
"I love ADWEEK," she wrote. "But, I have to be honest...I was taken aback by the cover. Look, I'm no stranger to Photoshopping. It happens a lot. In a way, we have become a society of picture adjusters - who doesn't love a filter?!? And I don't always take these adjustments to task but I have had the opportunity to address the impact of my altered image in the past and I think it's a valuable conversation."
Washington said this photo was particularly jarring.
"Yesterday, however, I just felt weary," she said. "It felt strange to look at a picture of myself that is so different from what I look like when I look in the mirror. It's an unfortunate feeling. That being said. You all have been very kind and supportive. Also, as I've said, I'm very proud of the article."
