It’s becoming increasingly apparent how easy it is to portray a fake lifestyle on social media, but celebrities like Bebe Rexha are helping to shatter the unrealistic images that fill many people’s Instagram feeds.
The “Last Hurrah” singer shared a new bikini photo on Friday and said in the caption that she left it unretouched.

She began by describing all the features she thought about retouching.
"I probably should of photoshopped my stomach and made it look flat," she wrote. "I probably should of photoshopped my legs to make them look thinner. I probably should of made myself look taller and Smoothed my legs."
Rexha went on to say that she left the photo completely unedited.
"Society can really f--- with you," she wrote. "Here is what a real woman looks like on Instagram without photoshop."
This isn't the first time Rexha has opened up about unrealistic body standards in the entertainment industry. In February, she talked about her difficulty finding a designer to dress her for the Grammy Awards.
"I was just shocked that I felt that I was being made to feel like there was something wrong with me because I didn't fit into a gown," Rexha, who wears a US size 6 to 8, told INSIDER's Olivia Singh. "If they didn't like my music or what I stood for or who I was or my messaging, that's one thing. But to judge me on my size is insane to me."
She ended up stealing the show in a bold red Monsoori design.
