Ariana Grande Slams Wicked Actress For Attacking Fans

[@NurseChrissy17]

These people forget that without fans, their jobs are meaningless.

[@thejessegrant]

Fans and theatres are the backbone of the industry!

[@Herbert-dy1uf]

The fan poster is actually better.

[@BlackCatFilmProductions]

Exactly. Fans are the ones who pay their own money to preview the movie and that money provide for the future film projects. You troll them and they might walk away and never come back.

"The eyes tell you what the person is thinking." That's exactly the reason why the original poster covered her eyes, because you don't know what Elphaba is thinking.

[@Xbalanque84]

More than that, she looks _threatening._ The movie poster as-is gives off strong vibes that she hates the viewer and wants to hurt them. If anything, her claims to want to "connect/communicate with her eyes" makes the poster even more unsettling. All of my deep primate instincts are screaming "She's trouble. RUN!" It would be one thing if such sinister intent was deliberate, a la "Big Brother is watching." But based on what I'm hearing, this actress was such a diva that she threatened to walk from the production if her full face wasn't visible in the poster. And the look she went with was _staring accusingly into our souls..._ This person needs serious help.

[@whisperingthylacine]

She sounds like she's a few nuts short of a pecan pie.

I mean it’s just a loving tribute to the reason there’s even a movie movie being made in the first freaking place And apparently this isn’t the first time Cynthia acted like this. Apparently there has been other times and that doesn’t surprise me at all. Oh, and there are actually people surprised, surprised who are trying to say that the fan edited poster is nothing more than a racist and white supremacist attack on Cynthia, which is absolute horsemen anywhere.

[@XaxtonRevolution2]

it’s like she wants the movie to be an allegory for her life (the way that she sees her life through a victimhood perspective) instead of being about the life of a woman who became evil because she was bullied for having green skin.

The guy who made the poster edit honestly did it justice. The character (not the actor) looks more mysterious and mischievous. When fans edit a poster they dont edit you they edit the character. If you are an actor and you cannot take that, maybe change jobs.

[@mikko-of6cu]

exactly. Some actors seem to think everything's about them personally, when in fact they're just playing a character. The poster is not about you. The movie is not about you. You're just the actor playing the character. The ego on some of these actors is just mindboggling. Someone else wrote the thing, someone else directed the thing, you just sat in a makeup chair and acted out what someone else wrote. That's all. You're not curing cancer.

Then apologize, praise the fans, and maybe throw in a little "who hasn't had a bad day and let some quaint little post get them irrationally upset?
