Madonna slammed for editing herself into daughter Lourdes Leon's racy photoshoot
Queen of Pop Madonna was blasted on social media for photoshopping herself into her daughter's sultry cover shoot for Paper magazine's January issue.
Photographer Indiana Piorek captured stylized snaps in which Lourdes Leon, 25, channeled '90s vibes while modeling in a series of bold ensembles in a variety of settings. However, 63-year-old Madonna posted an Instagram image on Thursday showing herself edited into one of her daughter's racy snaps. Lourdes had originally posed in front of shirtless model Zack Necht, but Madonna took that photo and gave it a metallic background before replacing the male model with a recent photo of herself wearing a kinky bodysuit, shot in London by photographer Ricardo Gomes, the Daily Mail reported.

For her magazine shoot, Lourdes slipped into a shimmering blue halter top which crossed at the neck and matched a pair of bikini bottoms. In one photo, she sprawled out across the top of a BMW with her long blonde hair cascading down the hood.
Her mother, however, was slammed for photoshopping herself into her daughter's shoot and accused of "stealing her thunder."
"Madonna photoshopped herself into her daughter's photo session. How controlling and narcissistic is that? She is 63 and still competing with her daughter," one tweeted. "Madonna is struggling for an - impossible never back- youth and daughter stealing her thunder. Must be excruciating for her," another wrote.
"Madonna please have a seat and let your daughter shine in her own light, geez, you’re getting aged, deal with it like an adult and not some scorned woman wanting to relive her life thru her child," someone else added. "Cannot believe Madonna is actually jealous of her own daughter. She just won’t let her shine; gtfo of her pictures Madonna!" another chimed in.

Lourdes, who is Madonna's daughter with ex Carlos Leon, has forged a successful modeling career over the years, but she recently admitted that dancing is where her heart truly is. "With dance, and specifically performance, it's really an area where if you're not present and being authentically, fully immersed in the movement — you're half-a**ing it or you're nervous or shy — people can tell," she said in a recent interview with her pal Raul Lopez. "There's no hiding in dance because it's an art form where you're wearing your emotions. And that's taught me in life to be authentically myself in any situation because as soon as you're not, people clock you. And I'm not the one to be clocked. You know what I mean?"
When asked about her plans for the future, Lourdes said, "I want to choreograph for artists, people that make music, visual artists. I want to choreograph mainly, but there is a big part of me that still does want to perform. I don't know if I'm ready to throw that away yet, that performance side, but I think there's a way I can do both. Now I'm dipping my toes in the pond of choreography for music videos and stuff like that. I think something bigger will end up manifesting itself, but I have to take other steps in order to find that sweet spot..." She added, "I don't really have a huge end result, what I dream in mind. I just know what I love to do and I know that if I keep doing that then I'll get somewhere eventually."
