Commenters on one Reddit post were divided in their assessment of the snap, with some arguing that the picture was poorly altered.

Others, however, deduced that Kim was clasping both her hands together, and so the supposed extra thumb was just the one from her other hand.

Kim Kardashian stands accused of yet another ‘photoshop fail,’ this time on account of one of her family photos from the festive season with her daughter North, 10

Fans quickly fired up their social media and noted that the image made it look as though Kim had two thumbs on her right hand

On the r/KWUTKsnark subreddit, a poster gleefully wrote: ‘Kim and her team are removing the “why do you have two thumbs on one hand” comments in real time and Im here for it! What a KLOWN!’

Observers quickly headed to the comments section to offer their own opinions on why the picture looked as strange as it did.

‘Is this a photoshop fail?’ wondered one, while another snidely accused Kim’s team of engineering the snafu ‘on purpose to get engagement’ for the reality star.

‘Man this woman’s hands can’t catch a break!’ joked one of the Redditors. ‘It’s like if it’s not one thing it’s another! Why can’t the photographer who edits the photos invest as much time on her hands as they do on her face?! Enough with the humilation and discrimination! #Justice4KimsHands’.

Other commenters sprang to Kim’s defense, such as one who wrote: ‘she’s using both hands lol you just can’t see her other arm. this is a reach.’

‘Ughhhh I hate to say this but this isn’t a photoshop faul,’ wrote another. ‘It’s her left hand embraced by her right. Nails are different and her thumb is crooked. Guys don’t make me defend this lmao.’

One Redditor quipped: ‘I know it’s an optical illusion but I love her getting roasted for everything bc she deserves it :)’.

Another one vamped: ‘In medieval England, an extra finger was a sign that you were actually a witch. Sink or swim time.’
