the intent behind the edit was simply just to emulate the original broadway musical poster. what's so offensive about it? overreact much 🙄
It’s not that big of a deal they were playing tribute the original why be upset
okay girl you're reaching. chill
Can we shut actors up before movie releases?
She is such trash. 😂🤦🏻♂️
When They See Us … guess not! Looks like the Broadway poster and to be fair you don't fully see Ariana Grande either. Don't see her having a hissy fit. Get over yourself.
Nobody cares what you think..and they'll care less when this movie fails
Jesus…..sounds like someone is trying too hard to be a victim
Take a chill pill lady.
They should've never gave you witches money
The funny thing is you can't see most of Ariana Grande's face in the original or the altered one LOL that was quite an excessive rant
Oh my God!! Why would you shave your head and have piercings like that? What a terrible look. Jesus Christ. It's already a bad look when people have nose piercings but she went to an extreme with terrible ear piercings and just an awful amount in general. Ugh grow up, you're not 22 and don't need 15 piercings on your head it just looks immature and pathetic. It's funny she got mad her face got hidden but I mean…seriously, how could she be surprised they'd cover it up? Also they had an excuse to do it because of the Wicked original poster, but we all know it's so everyone could look at the poster for more than 2 seconds haha. I could imagine her saying ibombay and being cast in the next one of those movies hahah
Did Cynthia go to the Rachel Zegler School of Promotions? 😅
This has to be the most tone deaf, crazy thing a celebrity has done in a long time.
I feel like she’s insecure bc Ari is clearly the bigger star. It really shows in her reaction to this little edit that someone was simply just paying homage to the original. I hate to say it but we all know this movie is garnering a lot of attention bc Ariana.
Well ppl all I can say about these stupid insensitive comments is that she, Erivo and Ariana Grande should NEVER have been remotely picked to portray Elphaba and Glinda n the 1st place
Why !!!!!!!!
There were many others i.e Amanda Seyfried, Anne Hathaway and others who were let’s just say “mtc”but because of yep you’ve guessed it “woke” culture they did but boy I hope is the movie sure happens to go the way of the “Joker” sequel and completely stinks out the world wide box office
I thought Arians Grande and the one Boq guy being the thing that turned me off from this. This is worse lol
I guess if someone had drew the old devil horns and a goatee on her shed have really had a come apart. Entitled assed people. Can't deal with it don't put yourself out there.
This blow up ain’t certainly going to kill sales for Wicked
You are made of real glass
Wow! What a poor reaction to a poster edit.
It degrades her? She's degrading herself with that bald head. It doesn't look good. Needa a bit of hair.
Pathetic whiner with a huge ego
What disgusting narcissism. I was so excited for this movie. Now I'm gonna save my money
