There has been much controversy lately over the alleged "lightening" up of Gabby Sidibe's face/cover for ELLE Magazine. In the magazine's defense, the Editor-in-Chief, Robbie Myers, gave the E! network an explanation.
More deets and Gabby's comparison pic when you read on.

ELLE Magazine's editor-in-chief told E! there is no controversy regarding Gabby Sidibe's cover photo. Myers says Gabby appears brighter/lighter because there's a different style of lighting used which obviously makes her look different when compared to a red carpet photo.
The magazine's publicist put out a statement saying:
"We have four separate covers this month and Gabby's cover was not retouched any more or less than the others. We had 25 cover-worthy subjects in our portfolio and we chose Gabby because of who she is. We shot this as a story of exuberant young women changing the world. If you take a look at the portfolio, each of the women were shot in different ways and for different reasons."
But the controversey doesn't end there, people are also complaining that ELLE should explain cropping Gabby at her chest, while other cover images featuring ladies like Megan Fox and Lauren Conrad were full-length.
Hmmm. Your thoughts?
