usmagazine.com:

Not a fan! Jenna Bush Hager slammed the “yassify” trend that creates “fake” photos using beauty filters.“Y’all, are we turning everybody into a Kardashian?” the 41-year-old star asked during the Friday, April 14, episode of Today With Hoda & Jenna after seeing multiple stars transformed into “cartoon” looking individuals. “Is that the point?”Bush Hager and her cohost, Hoda Kotb, sat down with pal Michelle Collins on Friday to rate a few current trends, including the “short king spring” lifestyle.

The phrase refers to tall women dating shorter men, like Sophie Turner and her husband, Joe Jonas.While the talk show hosts seemed on board with that idea, they didn’t approve of “yassifying for anonymity.”According to Collins, photos can be “yassified” to completely change one’s look with several filter modifications.

After seeing a few examples of Meryl Streep and Shakira being altered, Kotb, 58, and Bush Hager were shown their own doctored photos — and they didn’t like it.“Oh boy.

No, no, no,” Kotb said, adding that the edit made her and Bush Hager look “phony.” The Sisters First coauthor agreed, saying, “We look so fake.”Bush Hager concluded that “everybody looks like a Bratz doll,” referring to the popular 2000s toys that are known for their smooth complexions, large eyes and pouty lips.The Kardashians, for their part, have long been accused of Photoshopping their photos on social media.In February, Kendall Jenner received backlash after she shared a snap crouching down in a bikini balancing on one hand.
