Kris Jenner marked the “anniversary” of her friendship with Mariah Carey on Instagram last week, sharing selfies of the pair and images from the 2022 Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda Women’s Show in Sicily, Italy.

While some praised the sweet nature of the reality star and Grammy winner’s relationship and the wholesome pictures, others accused Jenner, 68, of applying filters that seemed to digitally modify her and Carey’s appearance.

This, of course, is not the first time Jenner’s family has been criticized for seemingly using Photoshop or intense filters.

Kris Jenner Comes Under Fire For Digitally ‘Editing’ New Selfies With Mariah Carey On Instagram

On March 27th (also Carey’s birthday), Jenner shared eight photos of herself and the “Always Be My Baby” hitmaker, 55, together over recent years. In her post caption, the Kardashians star wrote for her 52.5 million followers: “Happy anniversary to my girl @mariahcarey!!! Wishing you a year filled with happiness, love and laughter! I feel so grateful and blessed for our friendship, and I love you very much!! Happy anniversary!”

Fans headed to the comments section to share their thoughts. “Kris, thank you for giving Mariah a great friendship, we love seeing you together,” one wrote as another added: “love this friendship so muchhhh.” Others, however, seemed distracted by Jenner’s alleged use of heavy filtering and digital editing.

“Filters are filtering,” one wrote as another added: “going hard on the filter.” Someone else chimed in, writing: “Why all the time put filters stay natural you are beautiful,” as one other replied: “aww the baby filter.”

Earlier this year, Jenner also came under fire for alleged “filtering” after starring in an Oreo ad back in January.  A swarm of fans flooded Instagram, deeming her appearance in the ad to be “unrecognizable” and “over-filtered,” leaving many perplexed. On January 17th, the “momager” and Kardashians matriarch shared the ad with her followers, in which she wore a chic red blazer with gold buttons, matching shiny hoop earrings and a black top underneath.

Jenner captioned the post: “Every story has a twist.” Many fans in the comment section noted that the reality star’s skin looked “blurred” and that her spiky newly layered ‘do reminded them of the haircut she had during season one of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “How did we get here? Well, to answer that, I’d have to go back to the beginning,” Jenner said while twisting one Oreo and cookie before showing a stacked glass jar of them “I better go warn the kids.”

Despite the nostalgic nature of the clip, several comments noted an unusual aspect of Jenner’s appearance, implying that something was “off” or different. “Is that AI or just a lot of filter?” one commented as someone else replied: “This is an AI commercial.” One other added: “Is this AI Kris?” as another concurred: “Did.. did they ai kris jenner.”

In the ad, Jenner rocked thick black liner, smokey eyeshadow, voluminous lashes, rosy blush and a mauve lipstick. Jenner aimed to promote her Super Bowl commercial with this teaser, but it seemed that many fans just “couldn’t get over” the airbrushed look of her skin in it rather than its funny and throwback sentiment. Jenner has yet to respond to any of these “filtering” or “AI” accusations.
