Mindy Kaling fans accuse the star of airbrushing swimsuit snap: 'Even the ice cream is Photoshopped'

Mindy Kaling was on the receiving end of criticism from social media users on Friday after she posted what appeared to be an edited Instagram photo.

The 45-year-old actress — who attended the Warner Bros. Discovery Upfront this week — promoted her collaboration with swimwear brand Andie with a single photo of herself wearing a blue bathing suit.

The snapshot featured the former Office star in a sleeveless one-piece with an ice cream cone in hand.

Followers quickly flocked to the comments section to point out her seemingly ultra-smooth skin, with one joking, 'Even the ice cream is Photoshopped.'

Someone else expressed, 'She is naturally beautiful but I hate that they airbrushed her skin until she looked like a wax figure. Her natural skin is lovely.'

Another social media user wrote that the picture 'looks fake'

The caption of the post read, 'Join me for a wet hot American summer, complete with soft serve, unrequited crushes, and these incredibly flattering swimsuits from my Summer Camp collection with @andieswim.'

Mindy added, 'I am obsessed. And unlike bathing suits from the malls in the 90’s, these look good on everyone!'

The Kaling International founder also promoted the range in an Instagram reel shared earlier in the week.

In a caption to her 6.3 million followers, she said, 'CAMP ANDIE SWIM IS HERE! And I’m wearing some of my new favorite pieces from our latest collection. Here’s how it all came together!'

The mother-of-two showed off her figure in a red swimsuit while posing near a lake.

A description of Mindy's beachwear collection on Andie's website reads: 'Swimsuits and cover-ups reminiscent of glorious, carefree camp seasons of summers past.

'Americana-themed colors and flattering silhouettes inspired by the joyous memories of the canoe races, friendship bracelets, and s’mores.'

The pieces offered to consumers include one-pieces, two-pieces, and cover-ups.

Kaling attended the Warner Bros. Discovery Upfront this week in New York City

At her Upfront presentation this week, Mindy discussed her hit series The Sex Lives of College Girls, which is returning for a third season.

Deadline reported the writer-producer joked her show is 'filled with smoking hot guys who run around campus topless.'

'It’s a Max show, not a BBC show,' she added.

Mindy created The Sex Lives of College Girls with Justin Noble and the series debuted on HBO Max in 2021.
