Apparently when LeAnn Rimes showed up on the cover of Shape Magazine, lots of their readers were upset. And, for once it was not because of the publications' way excessive use of airbrushing and photoshopping. Nope. Instead it was because the readers felt that Shape was telling the world it was ok to put a homewrecker on the cover with a headline that says "How Working Out Saved Me."
This is what the editor said to everyone who wrote courtesy of toofab.
Subject: To my dear Shape readers
You are all in good company (why I'm e-mailing you all together) as you all agree Shape has made a terrible mistake in putting LeAnn Rimes on the cover.
Please know that our putting her on the cover was not meant to put a husband-stealer on a pedestal-but to show (through her story) how we all are human. And this woman in particular found strength in exercise in what she said was her most difficult personal moment.
But it did not come across that way ... And for that I'm terribly sorry.
I hope that we can do better the next time for those of you that will give us another chance.
Humbly,
Valerie Latona
Now if she could just do something about the unrealistic covers.
