“Watch Cynthia Erivo’s Controversial Interview Moment That Left Fans Outraged!”
Mystery Fashionist always asks his interviewees a series of fashion-related questions before asking them to reveal a common misconception about themselves. His Instagram page features interviews with stars like Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, and Paris Hilton.
The viral interview moment follows Cynthia’s subtle jab at the other women who auditioned for the role of Glinda in the upcoming musical film.
When asked about her reaction to Ariana Grande’s casting as the Good Witch of the North, the actress responded, “Thank goodness, because it was not the two ladies that I was auditioning with,” a remark that raised eyebrows on social media.
The interviewer, Mystery Fashionist, then shifted to a different topic, asking the actresses to reveal a common misconception about them
In October, Cynthia originally faced criticism after labeling a fan-made movie poster of Wicked as “degrading.”
“This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen, equal to that AI of [me and Ariana] fighting, equal to people posing the question ‘is your ***** skin green,’” the 37-year-old wrote about the image, which replicated a classic poster from the Broadway production.
The original poster depicts Glinda whispering something into Elphaba’s ear, who sports green skin and has her eyes covered by her witch hat. The fan-made version took a photo of Cynthia and edited her skin to appear green.
