Lena Dunham apologises over 'airbrushed' magazine cover

Lena Dunham has now apologised to a Spanish magazine after she claimed it had airbrushed a picture of her.

The Girls creator called out El Pais magazine on Instagram on Tuesday, but they responded with an open letter saying they didn't alter it.

They also sent the original picture they got from an agency.

In Lena's latest post, she says she has "a long and complicated history with retouching" and is "not blaming anyone... except society".

She also admits to the magazine that she realises a "bunch of people approved this photo before it got to you", but is sticking with her view that the photo has been altered.

"I'm pretty sure that will never be my thigh width but I honestly can't tell what's been slimmed and what hasn't," she says.

She tweeted: "Sorry to make you the problem."

Her apology is different to the criticism that she gave the magazine previously.

Then she said: "The magazine has done more than the average photoshop. So if you're into what I do, why not be honest with your readers? Much love, Lena."

She tweeted this as well: "This is not what I have ever looked like."

This isn't the first time Lena Dunham has been involved in debates about airbrushing.

But in the past, she's supported the other side of the argument, particularly when retouched photos of her appeared on the cover of US Vogue in 2014.

US publication Jezebel showed the retouched Vogue photos.

At the time, Lena told Slate magazine that she didn't see a problem with the altered images because she "felt really like Vogue supported" her and styled her in a way that reflected who she is.
