Gabourey Sidibe's Controversial Elle Magazine Cover

The Gabourey Sidibe Elle Magazine controversy has been gaining steam in the last few days. At first Elle was criticized for the way Sidibe was photographed on the October cover (the picture is a close up, and does not show her profile like the other cover girls for the month, many believe this is because of Sidibe's weight) but now many have said that Elle also lightened Sidibe's skin. So far, Elle has denied claims that Sidibe 's pictures were treated any differently than the other models, but as criticism rises, it will be interesting to see how Elle deals with this potential PR crisis.
