no time? Blue News sums it up for you
- Actress Blake Lively (“Gossip Girl”) has mocked Princess Kate's Photoshop fail.
- Now Lively is feeling sorry after Princess Kate's diagnosis became known.
- The American apologized to Princess Kate with a new post.
After announcing Princess Kate's cancer diagnosis, actress Blake Lively apologized for an Instagram post in which she mocked a doctored family photo of Kate.
“I'm sure no one cares today, but I feel like I have to admit it,” the 36-year-old began in an Instagram Story. She then wrote: “I made a stupid post about the Photoshop fail hype. This post shames me today. I'm sorry.”
On the occasion of Britain's Mother's Day on March 10, Kensington Palace published a photo of Kate and her children, but several news outlets retracted it shortly afterwards due to manipulation of the photo. Kate then took charge and pointed out how many amateur photographers are experimenting with photo editing.
Lots of support for Kate
Shortly thereafter, according to media reports, Lively posted a badly doctored photo of herself on her own account and wrote, among other things, that she was very happy to post her new photo, which she “just took today.” Other American stars, such as Kim Kardashian and Sheryl Crow, also published satirical posts about Kate.
Princess Kate has also received a lot of support from many stars. Actress Jamie Lee Curtis, for example, had already condemned conspiracy theories circulating about Kate's health before Kate's video message, calling it “a low point in our society.” “This is someone with young children and it is clearly a health issue. This is a private matter,” she wrote on Instagram. After the diagnosis became known, she called, among other things, to send “only our best wishes” to Kate and her family and to focus on your own life and the life of Those close to you.
Kate addressed the public in a video message on Friday and spoke about her cancer diagnosis, which was discovered after abdominal surgery in mid-January. She has not appeared in public since then.
