Kendall Jenner has addressed claims a sneaky Photoshop jobby was given away by her abnormally long hand.
The photo in question shows Jenner in a bikini with her back to the camera, peering around while perching close to the ground.
The 27-year-old can be seen stabilising herself with her hand - her freakishly long and thin hand.

Naturally, when you've got 276 million Instagram followers, such things don't go unnoticed.
Commenting on the post, one person wrote: "All that money, and she can't afford hand reduction surgery… We should start a go fund me for her."
Another said: "People criticise the Jenner's for claiming their fortune is 'self made' but seriously, Kendall has done it all single handily."
A third added: "I hope u are okay. Did someone slammed the door and was your hand between it?"
While another wrote: "I'm here from tiktok to see the hand."
But while social media users were convinced that Jenner had inadvertently warped her hand while editing the snap, she's since addressed the allegations in an Instagram Live with friend Hailey Bieber.
While Jenner flaunted the eyebrow-raising hand, Bieber said: "We're sitting here analysing…look how bizarre her hand looks normally.
"This is live. Live footage of the hand."
Acknowledging the lengthy mitt, Jenner replied: "It's crazy."
Bieber added that her pal had always had 'long a** hands and fingers' and that her followers had just been late to spot it. So perhaps we're not eagle-eyed after all - if anything we're mole-eyed.
This is far from the first time one of the Kardashian clan has found themselves embroiled in a Photoshopping scandal.
In 2021, Khloe sparked an interesting debate about Photoshopping after an unedited bikini photo of her was uploaded to the platform by mistake and she threatened legal action.
In a survey of 2,000 individuals - aged between 16 and 39 - only 35 percent said Kardashian was right to claim that the unedited image being uploaded to social media was an invasion of her privacy, while 65 percent said she had no leg to stand on.
Two-thirds of those surveyed blamed stars such as Kardashian for creating unachievable and damaging expectations of what bodies should look like on a social media platform with so many impressionable users as a result of using of Photoshop.
