However, she had a wider objective than just calling out the paparazzi. “I wanted to post this video so people know that I’m just like you,” she notes. “I want to look my best. Of course, I can take an unflattering shot, but the amount unflattering shots that I see online—I know that my shots are being photoshopped. I just, I don’t look like that in the photos that I take or when I look at myself in the mirror. So, that’s all I wanted to say. I hope you guys are having a sick day. I love you, and I’ll talk to you guys soon.” Whether or not the paparazzi or publications are indeed photoshopping images her, she clearly sees a discrepancy between her own self-perception and the public’s perception her. Along with her shocking engagement, Amanda has been making headlines in recent months for , which may have been a result  her skewered self-image.
