Thank you for this video. The bigger scandal for me is Ariana’s disgusting move to engage in an affair and break up a marriage.

I love Ariana’s music but her licking the donut and saying she hated America turned me off early on.

That's the one when everyone who thinks they are someone goes to be seen, not to watch the movie. It's a bit like counting booksales including the ones you sent to the bookstores that have not been sold.

[@ichangedmynameforyoutube]

This is as bad as that Snow White ‘actress’. Both are equally insufferable, in every sense of the word. DOWN WITH CELEBRITIES!

[@Downarabbithole276]

This whole PR is weird. I’m out.

[@angelwings1979]

It’s baffling to me how actors behave nowadays. They want to be the main character but their success depends on them being believable in their role. You want the audience to forget about Cynthia Erivo, the person, and only see Elphaba, the witch. Both Ariana and Cynthia’s scandals before their promo tour already were going to damage some viewers ability to believe. However, their behavior during this press tour has been ridiculous. They obviously take themselves way too seriously and why do they keep crying? Like you said, this is supposed to be a fun movie. They act like they’ve achieved something extremely serious and have changed society for the better. When they’re literally starring in a fun musical prequel to the Wizard of Oz and they’re not even the first people to play the roles. It’s all so absurd. I love musicals but I will not be watching Wicked. A big part of that is the actors behavior being so off putting. I was already hesitant because of the fact that they chose to split the movie up into 2 parts. Each being almost 3 hours long. It just does not sound like a good time. Cynthia and Ariana’s PR has done the opposite of what it was supposed to do. They have killed any interest I had in the film.

[@TS-om3ee]

I think I'll give this movie a pass. I just have no interest in it after all the drama.

[@juliefritz8636]

Everyone surrounded by them is creating the drama ? I have seen 5 post already pf youtubers creating their content off this. You commenting and everyone else commenting is creating their drama. They can't do anything without being picked apart. They are weird. She's weird bc she has a shaved head ? Like seriously. ? People are rude. This is the way all celebrities are and just not many are in the lime light like this bc of the fact of the traction the movie has gotten. There is so much history of this movie with indina and kristen playing these parts and I think they 100 percent picked the best cast for this. After seeing the movie I know they have some amazing voices. People can have theor opinions but I just think people.need to chill. Everyone creating the drama.

[@shirhaham3914]

Spot on! It’s too much pr, they are literally unbearable by now, the two of them… and Cynthia’s reaction was one of the most megalomanic reactions ever !

[@AScrapOfKindness]

I am one of those who have been living under a rock. Yesterday was the first I heard of this movie, but your video (which I'm about to watch) is the first information I'm getting about there being an issue. One thing we can be guaranteed, though, is that the entertainment industry is anything but entertaining.

[@Sofasurfa]

Nope I didn’t know anything about this film either until my daughters said they were going to go see it as they had always wanted to go see the stage show but couldn’t afford the travel and ticket costs. And I have to say I didn’t even know there was a stage show. I’m not into musical theatre which I think this is. Still I have learned something new today. That there is life after the wizard of oz. And I have had it confirmed that ‘actors’ are right up themselves. I’ll just keep plodding on in my job till next year when I can get my state pension and retire. Christ the entitlement of some people.🤷🏼‍♀️

[@asmrwithdora8464]

The two women staying in their character colours for their interviews is a bit creepy too.

[@anastasia_six]

I thought the fan art was more striking than the original!

[@LadyJofB]

Thought it was beautiful compared to the original. It was proper art. I just don't like actors anymore.

[@ristau]

Boycott Hollywood and carry on.

[@croach2194]

You look so pretty in that sweater. This video was a pure gem. I had not been following the topic but you can make almost anything interesting. This video reflects everything that is wrong with Hollywood actors these days. They are way too full of themselves while the fans care about their characters.

[@VanessaDouglass]

Pleased you mentioned the jumper. I’m guessing it’s from America. Lovely

[@cindygreleski5376]

I would never watch Grande in anything after her un American remarks in that bakery. And who the heck is this Cynthia person?

[@trinastrong6561]

That's what I want to know!

[@yakhooves]

I have enjoyed Wicked since I first saw it with an ex girlfriend on stage. I've read the book, own the soundtracks in a couple forms, and was actually looking forward to this. But first I was annoyed that they were cramming a three hour musical into like six hours... I love the musical, but what on earth are they doing to make this TWO movies?! And then, this WEIRD narcissistic temper tantrum by Erivo over the fan poster was the final turn off for me. Like, why was an actress making advertisement decisions regarding the movie poster. And her eyes were flat and emotionless. Like she completely missed the point of the actual Broadway poster. You're an actress... I've noticed that the actresses lately are kinda missing the point of their jobs. Like, Rachel Zegler during her first go out of many, of making an ass of herself while trying to promote Snow White, kept using "we" for all of these story decisions. "We decided not to do that with this movie," "We wrote a movie for the 21st century," or something like that. She kept confidently speaking as if she was truly in there writing the story and script. You are a 23 year old self-obsessed kid, Rachel. The sheer hubris of thinking anyone asked for or needed *you* of all people to "improve" a classical European folk tale is a special kind of narcissism. We need to get back to actors and actresses having both restraint and at least the ability to *feign* humility. Because we got to the stage where these people forget that they really don't have any more qualifications to speak on big issues, than any other layman. Yet they're out here, like Grande and Erivo, literally *crying* as if their stupid six hour rendition of a three hour musical is saving lives or changing the world. I don't want to sound cruel, but your personal identity that you CHOOSE for yourself, doesn't actually give you any more meaningful insight on the human condition than any other person. Having a shaved head, questionable fashion, and changing pronouns are totally fine for you, if that's what make you happy. But come off this pompous arrogance, as if you're now some enlightened demigod who has the mandate of heaven to scold and lecture normal people who don't have time to play make-believe with you. It's obnoxious, off-putting, and super cringey. You guys are for entertainment purposes only. You hopefully offer a bit of diversion to distract us for a while from our problems. So making a giant ass of yourself and creating a clownish spectacle isn't helping you, your movie, or society... Edit: grammar and the wrong "their" form were driving me nuts...

[@sidneybales9062]

My husband is a big Judy Garland fan. When he heard about this Erivo melt down, he laughed because Judy Garland was under a contract with MGM and did 16 movies in 3 years They were rough years. I can't imagine Judy having a melt down because someone edited a poster. Erivo has too much time and too much money on her hands.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Good comment.

[@Sofasurfa]

Excellent comment voicing my thoughts also wish I had read this before commenting my two penneth worth as you articulate it so much better.😊

[@Miromouse]

This comment deserves a place next to the Hollywood Sign.

[@patty6845]

This is why people hate Hollywood. This behavior. Who does she think she is? I have never seen her before and hope to never see her again.

[@freeangel5221]

I would have never saw the movie anyway. Absolutely despise Ariana Grande.

[@PotatoMatch]

totally agree, massive ego-problems. loved to hear your take on this, after all the constant coverage (though yours is always spot on) of the dastardly duo in montecito is starting to take a toll on me. this was a nice distraction 🤗🖖👏

[@californiaglo9666]

Those two are weird. I am not going to see the movie. 💛

[@kaunas888]

These actors and actresses love to play the victim, when in reality they are some of the most overpaid, pampered and adored folks on the planet...and they are so ungrateful.

[@tknows470]

I’m “holding space” for Cynthia Erivo’s enormous ego…

[@BoFlght]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@gazXspace]

They both already looks like a cartoon characters.

[@vickivolk7071]

I saw it this weekend. It was good, but not one I would rush to see again. I was already over the hype, the diva behaviors of the two leads, and their seemingly endless crying jags.

[@annaverano5843]

Their constant emotional breakdowns and stopping the interview to comfort one another and both constantly crying and declaring how great each other was . I was constantly rolling my eyes as they babbled on and on about how great and gorgeous they thought each other was and the way one would get emotional and start crying and then the other would start crying was not only cringe it was quite disturbing . Cynthia is in love with the sound of her own voice and she is also very much in love with herself and she makes sure that everyone understands just how fabulous Cynthia is. Her arrogance knows no boundaries. Even the interviewers were annoying as they kept feeding Cynthia's thirsty ego going on and on about how beautiful Cynthia is and how amazing and powerful her voice is and how the role of elphaba was made for her . I'm sorry but Cynthia is not beautiful she looks creepy and her voice is annoying and all that fake crying is fake and there is something real creepy about Ariana Grande at 32 years old talking in a child like voice . It's like Hollywood and Disney continue to churn out woman with bizarre behaviors who believe themselves to be better then their fans and that they can insult and berate every American who voted differently then they did . Rachel Ziegler is another toxic oddity who is in love with herself . Their narcissism is out of this world .

[@jeannelederman8992]

They have over-exposed themselves 🤮

[@evermoremystic17]

Cynthia probably couldn’t tell the difference between fantasy and reality. She probably assumed they were making a biopic about her than starring in a broadway show adapted for film. The woman is GREEN for heaven’s sake. Painting herself green is not enough to be considered an “erasure of her identity?” She should have just rejected the role then. What the hell is she smoking? 😂

[@Gaga2311-ko2ii]

I saw this on Broadway with the original stars. It was so much fun and I loved it.

[@tahlia__nerds_out]

You saw the original stars?! So lucky!

[@Gaga2311-ko2ii]

I did, it was the first or second year it ran and I was there with my cheerleaders who marched in the Macy’s Day Parade.@@tahlia__nerds_out

[@kidzrrelevant2593]

People magazine had a teeny-weeny blurb reporting Cynthia said she should have called her friends before she decided to post her response to the fan poster on Instagram! I would have never known what the heck was going on if I had not seen your video! Well done!

[@peggyk123]

I saw her fit about the poster at the time and decided then and there not to see the movie . She’s ridiculous and needs to calm down , the original broadway poster is far better in my opinion.

[@saddlerrye6725]

When I first heard about the poster drama, I rolled my eyes so hard. The fanartist didn't hide Cynthia Erivo's eyes, they hid the *character's* eyes. If it's such a huuuuge deal that she "stared down the barrel of the camera", I hope there will be no shots of her during the whole movie where her eyes are hidden, as it would mean the director is ereasing her.

[@shelley9280]

I have been done with Hollywood and the whole movie industry in general for a while now. I am a huge wicked book fan and I saw it on broadway. I would have gone to see the movie just because of the love I have for the books. This attitude, the elitism and the victim narrative is why I will now not go see it. Actors need to act and quit ruining the movies before they even come out. BTW You look great in that color blue Beebs.

[@deedsh6280]

👏👏👏Well said.

[@oldandgrumpy-r4d]

Beebs I must have been under my stone as I knew nothing about this. Having watched your video I think I was better off under my stone where these horrific women haven't managed to infiltrate. Love your videos

[@guestguest2030]

The colour of that sweater is gorgeous on you, Beebs.

[@Alberto-wu1mj]

It makes the red in Beebs hair stand out.

[@girlthursday13]

Hi Beebs, I’m one of those who kind of live under a rock. I watch the movie trailers but have skipped watching any of the promotional interviews and whatnots. I even pass on reading critics/movie reviews. So I’m not very much aware of all the hooplas and backlash towards the actors and the movie. And thank goodness for that. I watched the Wicked this past weekend and enjoyed it immensely, even after having seen the musical 3x including the original with Cheno and Idina. I can see how actors’ politics, beliefs, and views can be such a turn off but I like to watch a movie based on the story and performance and not so much what’s beyond the frame. So back under my rock until Maria, Babygirl, and Nosferatu comes out. Also, i love that sweater. You look pretty in blue.

[@cherylreaves253]

She’s just pissed her face was covered. Another case of look at me!! I’m so over Hollywood. Have no desire to see this.

[@petegarnett7731]

She must have sliver of THAT mirror!
