Leah Messer takes a lot of vacations these days.
Often — but not always — in the company of her Teen Mom 2 bestie, Kailyn Lowry, Leah has been hitting some of the finest beaches in North and Central America.
It’s hard to think of a downside in that lifestyle, but sadly, when you’re famous and you post a lot of swimsuit photos, the trolls are sure to crawl out from under their bridges and try to tear you down.
Small price to pay for the way Leah’s been living, but still — this one had to hurt.
Take a look:
Caught ‘Shopping?
Leah Messer has been accused of photoshopping her latest swimsuit photo. And the people “calling her out” have been brutal in their commentary.
Not the Leah We Know
Leah is generally regarded as one of the least-vain stars in the Teen Mom universe, and as far as we know, she’s never been caught retouching her photos before.
Keeping the Streak Alive
And as far as we can tell, she hasn’t been caught retouching her photos this time, either.
The Snowball Effect
Yes, Leah was “called out” by one hater and dozens of others followed suit — but we’re really not seeing any evidence of foul play here.
Haters Gonna Hate
“God the photoshopping is horrible! Why even bother. I’m sure tons of people saw you in person on the trip,†wrote one such fiend.
What a Messer
As far as we can tell, some people don’t understand how water can create a visual distortion effect. That’s really all we can come up with for why so many are convinced this pic has been altered.
Let ‘Em Know
Clearly aggravated by the accusation, Leah shot back “Wtf you people are f–king RUDE! #nophotoshop.” And she wasn’t alone in her frustration.
Loyal Followers
Fortunately, as In Touch Weekly points out, many of Leah’s fans were quick to come to her defense.
Good Point
“Why tf is everyone saying the legs are photoshopped? They are standing in water,†wrote one fan.
Setting the Record Straight
“This photo does not look photoshop I don’t understand why people are saying that, but even if it was who cares? Smh,†another added.
Taking It to the Next Level
“Mam, you don’t even belong on Instagram,†one fan shot back at a hater. “You don’t know what editing looks like anymore. Good day to you!â€Â
Well Said
“Wow some of these comments are so insensitive! Brutal,†commented one follower. We couldn’t have said it better outselves!
Burying the Lede
The photoshop debate is dumb for another reason — not the least of which is that the pic represents a far more interesting story.
Expectant Vicky!
Leah’s sister, Victoria Messer, got pregnant during her previous trip to Costa Rica. Now, it seems she’s returned in order to spend some time with the dad.
Come Again?
Sources say Leah was shocked when she heard the news, but ever the loyal sister, she accompanied her sister on her return trip to Central America.
Some Trips Are Different From Others
Okay, so Leah probably didn’t get to turn up on this trip the way she usually does with Kail.
Troll Magnet
And yes, haters talked trash on the innocent photo she took with her sister …
Good Times
But we’re guessing she made some worthwhile memories, and more importantly, she was there in her sister’s time of need.
Take the Good With the Bad
Even so, we’re guessing she’s happy to be headed home!
