Kim Kardashian leaves fans bewildered as she appears to have an EXTRA THUMB in Christmas snap… and social media wonders if it is a ‘photoshop fail’ or ‘optical illusion’

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

The picture in question showed Kim and her eldest daughter North, 10, posing in front of the tree at the family’s annual Christmas Eve party.

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.

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 and daughter North get pampered before Xmas

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.’

For the Kardashian family Christmas party, Kim was dressed in a seasonally appropriate ice blue gown that highlighted her sensationally svelte figure.

North, meanwhile, was bundled up in the luxuriously cozy Balmain jacket that her father Kanye West wore to the Met Gala in 2016.

Loved ones galore descended on Kim’s home on Christmas Eve to attend her blowout bash, complete with a performance by Babyface.

Kylie Jenner’s current boyfriend Timothee Chalamet was in attendance, spotted in the background of one of the social media pictures by eagle-eyed fans.

Kim shared the bewildering Christmas snap on Wednesday and seemingly unbothered by the controversy, she shared photos of her and Saint at Disneyland on Thursday.

She also shared a photo of herself holding a churro, showing off her hand sans optical illusion, and wrote: ‘I secretly come for the churros’.

She shared pictures and clips of the twinkling trees covered in manmade snow throughout her courtyard.

The entirety of her lawn was engulfed in fake snow and a path of fresh footprints.

To the tune of Bruno Mars’ Talking to the Moon, she also recorded her snowy SoCal home illuminated by the moonlight.
