Cynthia Erivo is blasting "deeply hurtful" fan art that obscures her face in promotional material for the upcoming "Wicked" movie adaptation.
After sharing impressively lifelike fan illustrations on her Instagram Story on Wednesday, Erivo called out a fan edit that rubbed her the wrong way. In an altered version of one of the film's promotional posters, Ariana Grande's Glinda whispers in the ear of Elphaba, aka Erivo, whose face is concealed by her witchy hat.
Though the real poster has Erivo staring down the camera, the edited image aligns more closely with the Broadway musical art.
"This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen equal to that awful AI of us fighting … " Erivo wrote in her Instagram Story above the edited "Wicked" poster. "None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us."
