Beyoncé Fans Erupt in Fury Over Controversial Wax Figure: ‘This Isn’t Her!’

Madame Tussaud’s famous wax museum in Paris has unveiled a new wax figure of Beyoncé, which has not gone over well with the Beyhive.

Many people were upset that the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer’s skin color appeared to be whitewashed.

Beyoncé fans were up in arms over her new wax figure.

They complained that the figure looked nothing like the singer.

Fans groused that the museum had changed Beyoncé’s skin tone.

 I DON’T KNOW WHO THE F–K THIS IS OR SUPPOSED TO BE! But it ain’t MY QUEEN!  This is a WHITE WOMAN!,” wrote one aggrieved fan, while another noted, “now beyoncé may be lightskin but this is insane….”

“whitewashed and failed to get her features right,” groused one person while another simply asked, “Who the hell is that supposed to be??”

A rep for Madame Tussaud did not immediately return our request for comment.

Oddly, this isn’t the first time the museum has been bashed for its depiction of the 42-year-old Grammy winner.

“This is a WHITE WOMAN!,” wrote one aggrieved fan.

Madame Tussaud has been criticized before over its’ depiction of Beyoncé.

In 2017, a Beyoncé statue was criticized for its face, hair and perhaps most disturbingly, it’s apparent too-light skin tone, which even spawned a hashtag #TussaudsSoWhite.

Madame Tussauds New York — where the statue was displayed — addressed the hubbub in a statement to Page Six, at the time, saying: “At Madame Tussauds, our talented team of sculptors take every effort to ensure we accurately color match all of our wax figures to the celebrity being depicted.

“Lighting within the attraction combined with flash photography may distort and misrepresent the color of our wax figures which is something our sculptors are unable to account for at the production stage.”

The furor even spawned a hashtag #TussaudsSoWhite.

Beyoncé’s mother clapped back at critics who accused her daughter of trying to pass herself off as white.

Unfortunately, the singer’s skin tone has been the subject of constant discussion throughout her career.

Last year, Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother, responded to trolls who accused her daughter of “bleaching her skin” or attempting to pass herself off as a white lady by wearing platinum locks at the screening of her “Renaissance” tour video.

Knowles, 70, tweeted a montage video of the negative remarks, which closed with the message: “Beyoncé is a brown skin girl, sometimes more or less light. A brown-skinned girl represents more than just her skin tone. “It’s a culture, a pride, and a strength.”

In 2019, Beyoncé’s father, Matthew Knowles, addressed his daughter’s skin tone, claiming that her lighter skin color improved her career.
