If you took a peak at Rumer Willis' latest photo shoot, you may have noticed that the images, while gorgeous, didn't look a whole lot like Rumer Willis

The 26-year-old offspring of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore stars as the campaign face for fashion house Franziska Fox, posing for a series of scantily clad photos shot by famed fashion photographer Michael Avedon, in which she's sporting a variety of risqué outfits that take the cut-out trend to new heights. 

And now, in a new interview with Elle.com, the 26-year-old star admits the pics were Photoshopped and is airing her grievances over the altered images.

"There were these photos from the [Franziska Fox] lookbook I shot that were Photoshopped. They Photoshopped my face and my body, and I wasn't okay with it. I didn't approve it," Rumer revealed. "I was like, 'You know what? That's not the kind of thing I want to be putting out there,' Girls who look at this shouldn't feel like they have to change themselves or have some weird ideal that you have to be Photoshopped to look good or look perfect. I really want to set a good example." 

She continued, citing her sister Scout Willis' topless protest as an example of staying true to your beliefs. 

"I like that my sister did that [because] you have to be accepting of who you are and what you have going on," she explained. "I learned an interesting lesson from all this and I have to be much more specific and say, 'Look, this is who I am. If you want me to be a part of what you're doing, these are the things I live by.' Don't slim my arms down—I worked really hard to get them to look this strong."

As for her thoughts on her sister's headline-making choice to take a stand in the Free the Nipple campaign? 

"She didn't tell me she was doing it beforehand," Willis revealed. "But my sister Scout is very gutsy. She's probably one of the most brave and outspoken people that I know. I commend her for finding something and taking a stand."
