Serena Williams deletes 'photoshopped' image following outrage from fans

Serena Williams is on the list of People’s “Most Beautiful” in the May issue of the magazine. And to mark the occasion, the tennis superstar shared a picture from the magazine photoshoot to her three million Instagram followers.

But fans thought Williams’s waist appeared to look digitally slimmed down and soon comments started pouring in, with users claiming that the photo had been heavily doctored on Photoshop.

The 34-year-old then deleted the post and replaced it with a new version (below) with her waist intact:
