"I think that Beyonce is going to have Madame Tussauds shut after this bad wax statue. "Since yesterday, Beyoncé’s fans are furious and they let it know. And for good reason, yesterday, the famous Madame Tussauds Museum in New York, which reproduces the biggest stars in wax, unveiled its latest creation with the effigy of Queen Bey. A statue with a much clearer skin than that of the interpreter of "Lemonade". The famous institution has been accused of "whitewashing," a practice of "whitening" characters, especially in Hollywood cinema (recently, Scarlett Johansson's presence in the cast of "Ghost in the Shell", to interpret a supposed character Being Japanese, had made polemic).
On Twitter, many comments denounce this practice. "How dare Madame Tussauds expose a statue of Beyoncé clearer than Britney Spears? Some of the wax statue would look more like Lindsay Lohan or Mariah Carey than Beyoncé.
Contacted by the American site "TMZ", the managers of the museum Madame Tussauds have tried their best to defend their new creation. "Our talented team of sculptors made great efforts to ensure that the color of the wax statue matches every celebrity. The lights around the statue associated with the flash of the photo were able to modify the image of the statue. "
As usual, Beyoncé, who does not respond to any polemic, did not speak.
