"Pretty Little Liars"' Troian Bellisario Defends Her Photoshopped GQ Shoot

    "Many people have said that we were photoshopped… OF COURSE WE WERE!"

    The stars of Pretty Little Liars recently posed for a bikini photoshoot for GQ magazine.

    Some people noticed that the girls seemed rather Photoshopped, which prompted Troian Bellisario, who plays know-it-all Spencer on the show, to write a defense of the photoshoot on Instagram.

    "So by now you have seen many a shot from #GQ and many people have said that we were photoshopped… OF COURSE WE WERE! That's a very specific type of photo shoot. And looking very blown out and perfected was obviously what they were looking for. Great. Cool. As long as we acknowledge how it was achieved so we know it's not real. Here's some behind the scenes of my body the way it is and was on the day. I'm not mad at how these pictures turned out, the girls and I had an absolute blast. More fun than we've had on a photoshoot in a while, and I think you can see that in our eyes and smiles. But it's the same everywhere. It's the same way on the posters of our show and even in women's magazines. This industry seems to invest more in perfection than in flaw. But flaw and individuality, to me, are what make a human being interesting, they make our stories worth telling. (Unfortunately the flaws don't usually sell products or magazines) I'm proud of my body and the way it looks because @themarkwildman kicks my butt in aerial. But my hips and thighs are a part of me (even though they magically weren't in some shots!) I get those things from my momma. And I'm happy To shake what my momma gave me."

    The Liars are no strangers to Photoshopping drama.

    Both Bellisario and her costar Lucy Hale, who plays Aria, have both opened up about past battles with eating disorders.

    Bellisario did have the best things to say about her Liars costars, airbrushing or no:
