Mariah's Photoshop Horror! Singer Put Head On Model's Body In New Pic, Expert Claims
June 2 2016, Published 10:04 a.m. ET
Mariah Carey shared a photo of herself to promote her upcoming Las Vegas concert dates this summer, but Photoshop expert Alan Barry exclusively told RadarOnline.com that he believes that not much of her is in the picture!
"Unbelievable! That is not her body and what they did to her face is a whole other story," the expert told Radar. "There's very little of her left in this photograph. I believe that that is her face, but it has been heavily, heavily edited."

Although Barry claims that head swapping is a common trend in celebrity photographs, he believes that the "Shake It Off" singer took the practice to a new level by trying to pass the photo off as legitimate.

"Whoever did this, they did a good job but it's still very obvious that that's her head put on somebody else's body," he claimed. "The head at that peculiar angle, that's always a giveaway in these shots because it's almost impossible to take the head from one photograph and put it on another with something being off."

In addition, Barry alleged that her face has been tweaked too.

"To add insult to injury, what they did to her face – I'm sorry – she has a very round face. She has a moon face. Maybe when she was 16 or 17 her face looked like this, but the jawline has been pulled way in," he told Radar.

"The nose has been made smaller and everything's been smoothed out. So the face itself is just ridiculous," he continued.

Meanwhile, Carey's chest area, in particular, led the expert to believe it wasn't her body.

"Her breasts in this black dress, those couldn't possibly be her breasts! They're too small! Her breasts are gigantic," he said. "They would be the main event in that photograph if her breasts were really in that dress, because that dress can't contain them. I don't care how much double-sided tape you'd use, it'd never hold."

Overall, Barry claimed, the mother-of-two's fake, leggy display was a painfully obvious case of photo fakery.

"This is just the most ridiculous thing! She really should be embarrassed and ashamed. If I'm wrong, I challenge her: come to New York, come into the studio let's photograph her in the exact same pose in the exact same dress and let's see what it looks like," he said. "If she looks the same, she gets an an apology and I'll print the photograph and I'll eat it!"
