Two hundred and twenty-four apparently un-edited photos of Queen Bey Beyoncé were leaked on a fan site called The Beyoncé World, sending shockwaves among her fans.
These pictures are from Beyonce's 2013 L'Oreal cosmetic campaign showing fans that she's human like everyone else.
The 33-year-old superstar, known for her hit track 'Flawless', appears to have uneven and pimply skin under heavily applied foundation in the pre-Photoshop images
The photographs were immediately taken down by the website soon after they were posted. But not before it was shared on social media and picked up by Complex and Gawker.
The Beyoncé World deleted the photos after receiving a negative response from the buzzing, insane Beyoncé fan army known as the Beyhive. The site owners posted this terrified missive explaining their decision:
"Due to the disdain of the BeyHive, we have removed the photos. We don't want to cause any drama, nor do we wish to start fan wars. Some of the things we have seen posted were just horrible, and we don't want any parts of it. We were just posting the photos to share the fact that our queen is naturally beautiful, at the same time she is just a regular woman."
The outtakes appear to be from Beyonce's adverts for L'Oreal's Feria and Infallible products, which advertise hair dyes, lipsticks and foundations.
The unphotoshopped adverts had many fans reacting on Twitter.
'That's beyonce? oh wow,' reacted @Smooth-Orator after seeing the photos.
@MackNSweetJones had harsher criticism tweeting: 'She looks like a cigarette smoker.'
While some were cruel, the majority of the Beyhive supported the 20-time Grammy winner with kind and encouraging words.
Famed Las Vegas act The Chippendales led the way by commenting: 'Unretouched photos of @Beyonce just prove she's a real person and a natural beauty.'
@SprinklesnBooze stood by the 7/11 songbird writing: 'Am I the only one that doesn't think #Beyonce looks horrible in these untouched photos?! She still looks better than me on most days!'
