Neither, we have been over that photo dozens of times. It is obvious on close inspection they are just those little stretchy hair bands. They are not ties, or tape.
No offense to you but this constant speculation of an old pic gets old. The man is helping her cut the pumpkin roll with a kitchen knife. The only thing making the photo 'suspicious' are the fucking red circles. Anons need to think for themselves rather than knee-jerk NPC action every time a photo gets posted. Next we'll be having Jim saying its CP.
This photo and the response to it is pure gaslighting, which anon was pointing out yesterday here with all the muh-cp overreaction. They WANT you to self-censor, to not even discuss things when they get dropped. Looks like it is working.
