The Internet Is Outraged After Madame Tussauds Is Accused Of ‘Whitewashing’ Beyonce’s Wax Figure

Listen, you guys have to help me out here. I’ve been asleep for the past eight hours – has Beyoncé been dethroned as the Queen of Everything?

Because Madame Tussauds has got Queen Bey all the way messed up!

The popular wax museum took to their Twitter to announce that the wax figure of the 35-year-old ‘Crazy In Love’ singer star had been moved to their New York location.

About time, right?

But have Madame Tussauds ever seen Beyonce? Because the figure looks absolutely nothing like her.

Beyonce‘s dedicated fans the Beyhive have accused the museum of ‘whitewashing’ her likeness.

Thousands got active on social media to drag Madame Tussauds to filth.

One user pointed out the skin tone of the statue as they wrote: ‘Something’s not qwhite right with this wax figure of @Beyonce.’

Others compared it to Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, Kesha, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and even Kate Hudson.

Television and radio personality B. Scott also chimed in as she wrote: ‘Somebody should lose their job for this! Get it together, @MadameTussauds. Is this supposed to be @beyonce?’

Madame Tussauds biggest location is in London with smaller museums in major cities around the world including Tokyo, Hollywood, Vienna, Berlin, Hong Kong, and New York.

Madame Tussauds may want to have a look at all their so-called Beyonce’s globally – none of the wax figures look anything like her.

But responding to criticizm the wax chain claimed that it was all a matter of the lighting. 

A representative for the company told TMZ on Wednesday: ‘”Our talented team of sculptors takes every effort to ensure we accurately colour match all of our wax figures to the celebrity being depicted.”

‘Lighting within the attraction combined with flash photography may distort and misrepresent the colour of our wax figures.’

But despite the corporation’s protest, social media still dragged them. Some compared Beyonce’s wax figure to the spot-on replica of Kylie Jenner unveiled at Madame Tussauds in Hollywood on Tuesday.

A Twitter user joked: ‘So how does Kylie’s wax figure look realer than her while Beyonce’s looks like a white Mariah Carey?’ 

Madame Tussauds displays hundreds of waxworks of famous and historical people in addition to film characters.

Meanwhile Beyonce is adjusting to being a mother-of-three after finally unveiling twins Rumi and Sir Carter on Instagram last week.
