Actress Kerry Washington has applauded the editors of InStyle magazine for addressing a skin-tone argument, which has blown up following the release of her new cover shot. The cover of the March 2015 issue, which appears to feature a lightened Washington, was released early on Thursday, prompting fans to criticize photo editors for doctoring the image to make the “Scandal” star look less black. Publication bosses have been quick to respond to the backlash, insisting they never doctored the image.
