Celebrities can take years to carefully build up their flawless reputations in the public eye without putting a foot wrong.
However, these carefully built up images can easily be shaken by an accidentally uploaded Instagram post, leaked image or unflattering snap.
The fear for some is that the threat to their image may completely derail their curated personas – but others slip ups are simply just an embarrassing mistake.
Rita Oraย fell into the latter category this week as she accidentally posted a selfie where she suffered a nip slip while posing in bed with her pal.
However, the singer didn’t seem too worried about the slip up as the photo is still up on her Instagram page currently.ย
After the gaffe,ย MailOnline takes a look at the many instances where the world has seen images that celebrities wouldn’t have wanted them too.
From that infamous unedited picture of Khloe Kardashian to swiftly deleted images of wellness guru Jennifer Aniston – take a look at our compilation here….

Khloe Kardashian’s unfiltered snap
In 2021 a leaked photo of Khloe Kardashian in a bikini began circulating online.

The star also revealed that being compared to her siblings, Kim and Kourtney, in addition to ‘constant ridicule and judgement’ has been ‘too much to bear.’
An excerpt from her message read:ย ‘As someone who has struggled with body image her whole life, when someone takes a photo of you that isn’t flattering in bad lighting or doesn’t capture your body the way it is after working so hard…
‘You should have every right to ask for it to not be shared, regardless of who you are.
She continued: ‘My body, my image and how I choose to look and what I want to share is my choice.ย
‘It’s not for anyone to decide or judge what is acceptable or not anymore,’ also adding that she likes a good filter, good lighting and an edit here and there.
Jennifer Aniston smokingย ย
Despite her good-girl image, Jennifer Aniston has a long history of smoking, which she has said she’s since quit.
But in 2022, the now 55-year-old actress and wellness advocate was pictured lighting up amid her birthday celebrations.
Her ex-husband, Justin Theroux, posted a video of the actor lighting a cigarette before it was quickly deleted off his Instagram story.
Aniston has admitted she was a chain smoker for years early in her career, regularly making her way through a pack of cigarettes a day.

It doesn’t appear she’s regularly picked up the habit again, but it also seems she hasn’t put away her lighter for good.
Experts worry that as celebrities once again glamorize the deadly habit, smoking could become ‘in’ again โ and be taken up by a new wave of young people.ย
Former New York City health commissioner Dr Mary Bassett said previously: ‘When young people see glamorous stars smoking and flouting the law, it undermines the progress that has been made in de-normalizing smoking.’
Public health officials and campaigns have highlighted the well-documented health effects associated with cigarettes.ย

Despite being friends at high school, Rachel revealed that Rami DM’d her to request she remove a picture of them on Instagram because he’s a ‘private person’ย
‘He was so gracious, and I totally understood where he was coming form and he understood me. And I was just so happy we were able to squash it and, like, move on,’ the Hart of Dixie star added.

However despite being friends at high school, Rachel revealed that Rami DM’d her to request she remove a picture of them on Instagram because he’s a ‘private person’.
She made the admission on Dax Shepard’sย Armchair Expert, as she revealed she shared a throwback snap just before he won the Oscar for Bohemian Rhapsody in 2019.ย
‘I had posted a throwback of us from our senior trip to New York. We’re super nerdyโฆjust the dorkiest picture of the both of us. But I throw it up, ’cause it’s funny and I think it’s so important to be able to make fun of yourself,’ she explained at the time.
She admitted that she doesn’t check her Instagram DM’s too often, but a week later she saw a message from Malek.ย
‘It wasn’t like, ‘Hey! How are you?!’ It was straight to: ‘I would really appreciate if you take that down. I’m a really private person,” she explained.
‘I was like, I guess I should’ve found something more flattering. But I removed it and I even wrote to him a really nice message: ‘I’m so sorry. Go get the Oscar! You’re doing amazing.’
‘And I never heard anything back, which is fine. But I was super bummed because he was always so nice and we were good friends,’ she added.
The story quickly took off, with social media discussing the exchange ad nauseum, much to the embarrassment of Bilson: ‘My friend sent me a CNN link to it. I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?!”

Web Sheriff also said that Minkevich never had any right to publish or post his photograph since he signed a waiver before the concert.
When asked about this Minkevich told TF that he could not remember if he had signed a waiver at the time as the event took place over six years ago.ย ย
He also said that he was completely unaware that Rose was trying to have the image removed from the internet.ย
‘Either way the photo was stolen off our website with no permission granted by the Winnipeg Free Press,’ said Minkevich.ย

‘But I was already not feeling like myself and when people were like sharpening them and making them look way worse and then those were going around, I was like “Ok, I’m going to get it together” and I started working out with this bodybuilder girl.’
