Cynthia Erivo has spoken about the intense scrutiny she faced during the global press tour for Wicked, saying online reactions to a viral moment involving Ariana Grande left her feeling that her 'humanity had been bastardised'.
Speaking in a recent interview with Variety, the British actress reflected on the pressure surrounding the two-part Wicked film adaptation and the online commentary that followed several high-profile appearances alongside Grande. Erivo said audiences often blurred the line between her real personality and her role as Elphaba in the musical fantasy franchise.
