Beyonce tries to ban unflattering Super Bowl photos

Beyonce is apparently less than impressed with some of the photos of her Super Bowl performance, with her publicist attempting to have unflattering images of the star removed from the internet.

The website BuzzFeed posted a list of The 33 Fiercest Moments From Beyonce's Halftime Show, featuring photos from the star's Super Bowl performance. The website received an email from Beyonce's spokesperson requesting the photos be replaced by images that showed Beyonce in a better light.

However, it seems that Beyonce's publicist disagreed that the photos were 'fierce', instead labelling them 'unflattering'.

In a screencap of the email posted, Beyonce's publicist writes, "Thanks for taking my call. As discussed, there are some unflattering photos on your current feed that we are respectfully asking you to change. I am certain you will be able to find some better photos.

"http://www.buzzfeed.com/lyapalater/the-fiercest-moments-from-beyonces-halftime-show

"The worst are #5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 19 and 22.

"Thank you very much.

"Yvette."

Instead of removing the photos, BuzzFeed instead posted a new list, entitled The "Unflattering" Photos Beyonce's Publicist Doesn't Want You To See. 

The website shared a screen cap of the email, and posted the photos that the publicist had singled out as flattering.

BuzzFeed added, "BuzzFeed emailed asking for further explanation but didn't receive a response."

Fans didn't seem to care, however, with Jenny Kraemer commenting, "I don't think these pictures are that unflattering.. If I got up on stage and sang and danced my ass off, I can guarantee I would look the same.

"If you take a pictures of anyone doing anything physical they will have funny looks. Who cares. She's beautiful."

Check out our photos of Beyonce's performance - and decide for yourself if there's any unflattering ones in there...
