Woman Calls Out Madonna For Using Photoshopped Pic Of Her Body On Instagram And It’s Going Viral
Madonna is considered by many one of the most iconic singers in music history. Besides having released 14 studio albums with a myriad of hit singles and having won countless awards and beaten a number of world records throughout her 40+-year career, she is also one of the main trend setters not only among musicians but among celebrities in general.
So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Madonna is in the news again. What should, however, be a surprise is the content of the news.
A picture from 2015 found on Madonna’s official Instagram page is resurfacing on the internet—a picture of Madonna’s head crudely photoshopped on another person’s body. And that other person found that photo.

The internet’s full of interesting things, including this one poor photoshop job of Madonna

So, Amelia Goldie, a digital marketer, writer, and photographer from Sydney, Australia, has recently released a TikTok video showing a crudely photoshopped picture of Madonna.
The picture in question is effectively Madonna’s head put on some woman’s body. You can see that because the head is cropped out poorly and the proportions as well as the lighting/shading are a tad bit off.
Sure, a lot of celebrities’ pictures get photoshopped this way, but this stands out for two reasons: [1] it’s posted on Madonna’s official Instagram page, and [2] the body (and hence the picture) actually belongs to Amelia.
Turns out, someone photoshopped Madonna’s face onto digital marketer Amelia Goldie’s body and it somehow ended up being posted on Madonna’s official Instagram

Yes, you read that correctly: Madonna’s official Instagram page shared a photo back in 2015 with Madonna’s head photoshopped onto Amelia’s body with the caption “I look Kewl…” and the hashtag #rebelheart, promoting her studio album of the same name.
Amelia found out about this when some of her followers sent her the picture on Instagram. At first, Amelia thought it was a joke, but soon realized that it couldn’t be—after all, it’s on Madonna’s official social medium.
But you can’t just not think that it’s a joke because of the poor photoshopping done here—the head is out of proportion and a tad bit off center, the lighting and shading differ, the picture quality is poor considering the other higher-quality pictures Madonna posts, among other details. Plus, it’s to promote Rebel Heart, get it?

Amelia did try to get in touch with whoever is managing Madonna’s Instagram account, but to no avail. Since then, it has become a bit of a running joke as she did repost the photos saying how that occurrence is still one of the weirdest, funniest, and best things she has found on the internet.
Well, it wasn’t until recently when she posted a TikTok video about it that it seriously went viral. The video showing this bizarre occurrence and Amelia claiming Madonna had photoshopped herself there has managed to garner over 2.1 million views with over 320,000 likes, and made headlines across the whole internet.
Believe it or not, the photo is still up on Madonna’s Instagram. People are still commenting under it on everything from the quality to the whole idea of how it’s even possible for this to happen, on a logical and moral level.

Though flattered, Amelia would have wanted to be at least credited in the photo. But as she said to Buzzfeed, “I think if you’re going to play somebody else’s body off as your own, they deserve to be mentioned. But no hard feelings!”
Some believe that whoever was managing Madonna’s account reposted an image available on the internet without even batting an eye because the picture has a very faint watermark to the right of the head.

Others demanded she credit the original person or take it down altogether. Yet others had no idea how this is even possible. Regardless, it is at the very least bizarre to think that this has made it on to Madonna’s official Instagram and that it should have at least required a credit of some sort.

Here are some of the internet’s reactions to this bit of news
Live up to your own potential instead of copying someone else’s. ＼（〇_ｏ）／
I wish Madonna would embrace her age a bit more. I love her, I'm an 80's kid after all... but I feel that her legacy is being tarnished so much in the last few years... She was such an example of female power and now it just seems like she's desperately tying to hold on to youth when she could be a queen of aging gracefully. I know it's not really my place to say and she can live her life as she pleases but those butt implants were bad and I wish I could still 'role model' her but... c'est la vie... I guess?
Don’t apologize, you’re absolutely right. She’s obsessed with youth to the point where she has become one of those awkward older women who try to fit in with teenagers. It’s creepy tbh. She should embrace her age as she’s full of talent without a doubt

Despite being an 80s kid I have no special affinity for Madonna - yet I still feel like there's more to the story here. Can't figure why Madonna would do this, there's no upside. She clearly has the resources to get made whatever photo she wants. Doesn't add up. I want the other side of the story.
She’s over 60 years old and is trying to fool people into believing she looks half or more than that. Come on you aren’t fooling anyone. You’re becoming an old lady and there’s nothing wrong with that!
It is obviously a joke from Madonna's account...and it has moreover fulfilled its purpose of capturing people's attention...
The face she is making there is so corny and off putting too, like THAT’S what you choose to shop on to someone else’s body? Diagonal lips? She’s not even doing it in a cute, curled lip way. It’s just straight up diagonal. The head is gigantic and orange too. A horrible photo of her head and a horrible photoshop job. Madonna is a beautiful woman, she doesn’t need to do this. The girl with the stolen photo is beautiful too and she has the right to her own likeness. Pathetic that this needs to be said.
1. Her head isn’t sized right, and looks unnaturally large for the body it was shopped on. 2. I’d bet anything that Madonna knows nothing about Joy Division.
You think that a professional singer who's worked in the music industry for 30+ years knows nothing about a famous musical group active at the same time as her?

The beliefs of this artist are congruent with her actions. It is a possession without the actual possessing. Her demonic inhabitant must be looking to move on to something younger and suitable to its tastes.
Put down the drugs when you start to hear satan, dude.

Yes, “butthurt” over having her own body literally stolen. Okay boomer.
