I recall seeing her preform in the revival of The Color Purple. Her character's appearance, or lack of "beauty," was heavily criticized in the show as the book/script calls for - anyway, at the stage door a fan next to me took the time to tell Cynthia how beautiful she was, and Cynthia was moved to tears. It made me wonder if she didn't believe it herself, but not here to psychoanalyze either. Having witnessing that, though, I can see why "hiding" her face may not be something she takes lightly. I'd like to imagine I'd brush it off as most other commentators here as I agree the intent is pretty clear, but her strong response here made me think of that moment.

Luv u Sum

she's been verrry outspoken lately about many thing but i think this is a bit dramatic. 

it's a photoshop fan edit to make it look more like the show poster and isn't any deeper than that. 

i do agree that the ai fighting edit has a bit more of a reason to make her upset but the "is your p*ssy green?" has been a wicked joker for ages and is funny and doesn't have anything to do with cynthia :laughga:

What she meant to say is "My agent yelled at the graphic artist on the phone for 4 hours to get my full ass face on the poster! That is my right and you all will seethe!"

She spent too much time on Twitter, gurl, nobody is erasing you :laughga:. When I read the title, I thought it was going to be something legitimately bad, like all the horrible edits people were making of Halle Bailey during the Little Mermaid release. 

But this is... not that :awkney:. I can understand her being paranoid, people online ARE super racist, but on this specific case she's over reacting. The edits crearly are made in good faith, by fans on the franchise, and do not intend to "erase" her, lol.

In a timeline where we are facing another potential Trump presidency where our rights are threatened, this is what she considers to be the most offensive thing she has seen. A quote from her full quote.

I think she could be like "I wanted my face to be shown, it has a much greater societal impact with my face shown" but "this is the most offensive thing I've seen" is soo ridiculous.
