Meghan Trainor has pulled her new music video from the internet after claiming that her waist was digitally altered.

Trainor, 22, debuted the video for Me Too, but later asked the “Gods of Vevo” to remove it.

She said she is “sick” of having her body Photoshopped and said she was “embarrassed” that the video was aired.

“I took down the Me Too video because they Photoshopped the c*** out of me and I’m so sick of it and I’m over it so I took it down,” she told fans on Snapchat.

“My waist is not that teeny, I had a bomb waist that night, I don’t know why they didn’t like my waist, but I didn’t approve that video and it went out for the world, so I’m embarrassed.

“I told them to fix it ASAP Rocky […] I’m sorry about this.”

She later explained how she first thought it was the work of fans who were digitally altering screen grabs from the video.

Speaking to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live she said: “I thought the fans were doing it online when they were screen shotting it then I saw it and was like ‘Oh my God’. So I called the God’s of Vevo and I said: ‘Take that down now’.

She assured fans that the video has been changed and should arrive "soon".

Trainor’s comments come days after Rumer Willis publicly criticised photographers who she claimed Photoshopped an image of her face for a spread in Vanity Fair.

The actress alleged her jaw had been digitally altered and compared Photoshopping someone’s body image to “bullying”.
