Cynthia Erivo Is Not Happy With Fan Edits Of The ‘Wicked’ Posters And The Use Of AI

Buy Me A Coffee

Cynthia Erivo is not having it. The Wicked star (a.k.a. your future favorite green icon) has taken to Instagram with a message sharper than Elphaba’s flying broomstick, calling out some… let’s just say “overly creative” fan edits.

Apparently, some bold internet dwellers decided the Wicked movie poster needed a little DIY magic. They dropped Elphaba’s hat lower and went full “lipstick drama” by giving her a shade of red so aggressive it might as well be named “Ruby Slipper Rage.” But the edits didn’t stop there—oh no. Welcome to 2024, where not only do posters get unsolicited makeovers, but people also ask bizarre questions like, “Is your p—- green?” (Yes, you read that right.)

Cynthia, 37 years old and clearly out of patience, wasn’t feeling the unsolicited tweaks. In fact, she addressed it all in an Instagram Story that practically screamed, “Enough!” She threw shade harder than an eclipse, saying:

“This is the wildest, most offensive thing I’ve seen—right up there with that awful AI video of me and Ariana Grande fighting.”

(And let’s be real, AI-generated beef isn’t exactly what anyone asked for, but here we are.)

Cynthia didn’t stop there. Oh no, she went in on the whole “p—- green?” meme situation, which has apparently been haunting Wicked fans for years. Because when you star in an iconic musical adaptation, you obviously dream about strangers on the internet discussing the pigmentation of your nether regions, right? Wrong.

“None of this is funny. None of it is cute,” Cynthia wrote. “It degrades me. It degrades us.”

Now, for those wondering why this poster drama hit such a nerve, Cynthia explained it in crystal-clear terms:

“The original Broadway poster is an illustration. I, however, am a real-life human being—shockingly, with feelings! I chose to look right into the camera to connect with you… because eyes communicate without words. Our poster is an homage, not a cut-and-paste job.”

She then dropped the mic with a final blow: “Editing my face and hiding my eyes? That’s erasure, and it’s deeply hurtful.”

Translation: Messing with the poster is like spilling coffee on her broomstick—it’s personal.

So, let this be a PSA to Photoshop warriors and meme enthusiasts everywhere: if you’re thinking about giving Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba a makeover or generating weird AI nonsense, just… don’t. The internet may be chaotic, but at least respect the flying green queen while she’s trying to bring some magic to the big screen.

Now, go think about your life choices.
