Cynthia Erivo, the star of Disney’s Wicked and recent Oscar nominee for Best Actress, has added yet another controversy to her list after accusing her instructors at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) of dismissing her as “lazy.”

“Lucky us, here we go again, it seems the ‘perpetual victim’ role is a popular and an enduring one,” one reader wrote, unamused by Erivo’s account of her drama school days.
