Beyonce's fans bully website into removing un-photoshopped photos

Even though they're basically perfect anyway, because Beyonce.
We’ve certainly had some fun with some Photoshop drama around these parts, knowing fully that everyone, everywhere, in every picture, ever, is touched up to some degree.
That includes, believe it or not, Beyonce, who has in the past had unflattering images of herself removed from the internet. But this week, when a few untouched photos from an old Loreal campaign “leaked” online, it wasn’t Bey who responded (not yet, anyway), but her raging fans, who bullied website The Beyonce World into removing the photos they’d obtained (though Complex snagged a few beforehand). The website said:
Due to the disdain of the BeyHive, we have removed the photos. We don’t want to cause any drama, nor do we wish to start fan wars. Some of the things we have seen posted were just horrible, and we don’t want any parts of it. We were just posting the photos to share the fact that our queen is naturally beautiful, at the same time she is just a regular woman.
But lol, because Beyonce is not a regular woman, I envy even her adult “acne,” her very fine lines (visible only because of all the photoshoot makeup she’s wearing no doubt), her perfect everything, my god she’s beautiful. Most of the befores and afters are not even likely from the same shoot, but serve to highlight just how whack the Beyhives worries are in the first place. Check out the non-drama above and weep. Weep with me please.
