Fans customized the Wicked movie poster to more closely match the original Broadway poster.

Some fans, disappointed by the poster, altered it to be closer to the original, moving Grande’s hand and lowering the brim of Erivo’s hat to cover her eyes. The edits prompted Erivo to respond. “This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen

“None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us,” Erivo continued. “The original poster is an ILLUSTRATION. I am a real life human being, who chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer… because, without words we communicate with our eyes.”

So, this seems like a completely reasonable reaction to fans making fan content.

    Who?

    Yea, still don’t know who she is, other than someone behaving like a child.

    “Most offensive”? Oh give me a break. Her behaviour here is the only offensive element in this story.

    Thanks for letting me know I don’t want anything to do with you, and what show to not see.

    Actors really do have majorly inflated sense of their importance in the world. You’re nobody, sunshine.

    Grow up.
