Rumer Willis is just fine with the way she looks and would like Photoshop hacks to leave her body alone.
The eldest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore took to Instagram this week to call out Vanity Fair after the magazine published a photoshoot of 27-year-old Willis sporting a much smaller jaw without her knowledge.
Rumer, who appeared in the glam shoot alongside her sisters Tallulah and Scout accused photographers Mark Williams and Sara Hirakawa of digitally altering her face – something she says would have never have tolerated.
Rumer was so offended by the alleged Photoshopping she called the move “a form of bullying” and wrote a lengthy post to explain her views on the matter.
“Any friends of fans of mine who posted this I would appreciate if you took it down,” she captioned the picture on her social media page to her 573 thousand followers. “The photographer Photoshopped my face to make my jaw smaller and I find it really offensive for anyone to try and change the way you look so drastically.”
“I love the way I look and I won’t support anyone who would feel a need to change the way I look to make me beautiful,” she continued. “Whether or not they realize [sic] it, it is a form of bullying, which I won’t stand for.”
Rumer – who has dabbled in acting and won season 20 of America’s Dancing with the Stars – told Glamour magazine in 2015 that her issues with her body have caused her a lot of grief.
“I was constantly bullied because of my looks, so I struggled a lot with my body image. I wanted to have no butt; I wanted to have no boobs.”
She added, “For a long time I just wanted to look tiny and androgynous.”
But thankfully young Rumer has managed to value her individuality and be grateful for her body, instead of fighting it.

She told Glamour: “Let’s allow ourselves to say, ‘These are my flaws, but I’m still beautiful.’ Let’s find our own value, know what we have to offer—and know that that is enough.”
Rumer’s fans have praised her courage and there is no word yet on Vanity Fair’s reaction to the claims.
