Beyonce Wax Figure Sparks Whitewashing Claims From Outraged Fans

“This looks more like a Bethany or a Becca or maybe a Britney,” one disappointed fan reacts

Beyonce Emmy Awards

Beyonce fans are waxing angry over Madame Tussauds depiction of their idol.

The Beyhive buzzed with rage on Tuesday, after an image of Beyonce’s wax figure made its way onto social media.

The outpouring of anger actually sprouted from a compliment, as one Twitter user posted an image of the figure with the caption, “Beyonce wax figure at @MadameTussauds is FIERCE!”

That opinion, however, turned out to be in the minority, with many fans contending that the figure was a far-too-pale imitation of the “Lemonade” singer.

“It’s a good thing you’re not talking about *Beyoncé. cause this white woman is definitely not her,” wrote one disappointed observer.

“Bitch Beyoncé??? This looks more like a Bethany or a Becca or maybe a Britney….,” mused another Twitter user.

“Lindsay Lohan. Jessica Simpson. Maybe even Britney at the right angle but this darling is NOT Beyoncé,” went another response.

“How can Madame Tussauds have a Beyoncé sculpture lighter than Britney Spears,” yet another person wondered.

“THIS IS NOT BEYONCÉ THIS IS A POOR MAN’s MARIAH CAREY WITH SOME LINDSAY LOHAN MIXED IN NO NO NO,” went one particularly angry response.

“WHY’D I THINK THIS WAS LINDSAY LOHAN NAAAAHHH TRY AGAIN,” offered another fan.

With reactions that heated, you could probably melt wax. Which might not be a bad idea in this situation.
