Unbeknownst to her, a picture Ronda Rousey recently shared on social media had been photoshopped to give her a slimmer physique. When the UFC star found out about the alteration, she quickly posted an apology to social media.
Rousey has been a staunch opponent of digitally altering photos, and she's long proclaimed confidence in her body and shape, saying she's happy with the way she looked. That made her error even more egregious, and she was adamant that image was not condoned by her.
"I have to make an apology to everyone -- I was sent a picture to share on social for [The Tonight Show With Jimmy] Fallon that was altered without me knowing to make my arms look smaller," she writes. "I won't say by who -- I know it was done with severely misplaced positive intentions -- but this goes against everything I believe and I am extremely proud of every inch of my body.
"And I can assure you all it will never happen again. I could not be more appalled and hope you all forgive me."
The alteration was performed on her right arm, touching up the image to scale down her triceps and made her muscles less pronounced.
The picture was taken during this segment featuring Rousey on "The Tonight Show":
Rousey also appears in body paint in this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
