“This is a white woman”

Holy blue!

Madame Tussauds’ famous wax museum in Paris has unveiled a new wax statue of Beyoncé and it has not gone down well with the members of the Beyhive.

Many were annoyed that the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer’s skin color seemed to be whitewashed.

“🤔😒 I DON’T KNOW WHO THE FUCK THIS IS OR SUPPOSED TO BE! But it’s not MY QUEEN! 🤷🏽‍♂️🙄🤦🏽‍♂️🤬 That’s a WHITE WOMAN!” wrote one angry fan, while another noted, “Well Beyoncé may have light skin but this is crazy…😭😭.”

“covered up and didn’t get her facial features right,” complained one, while another simply asked, “Who the hell is that??”

A representative for Madame Tussaud did not immediately respond to our request for comment.

Oddly enough, this is not the first time the museum has been criticized for its portrayal of the 42-year-old Grammy winner.

In 2017, a Beyoncé statue was criticized for her face, hair, and—perhaps most disturbingly—her obviously too-light skin tone, even leading to the hashtag #TussaudsSoWhite.

Madame Tussauds New York – where the statue was on display – addressed the uproar in a statement to Page Six at the time, saying: “At Madame Tussauds, our talented team of sculptors make every effort to ensure that all of our wax figures are accurately color-matched to the celebrities depicted.

“The lighting within the attraction combined with flash photography can distort and alter the color of our wax figures, which our sculptors cannot take into account during the production phase.”

Unfortunately, the singer’s skin tone has been a source of controversy throughout her career.

Last year, Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles hit back at trolls who accused her daughter of “bleaching her skin” or trying to pass herself off as a white woman by wearing platinum blonde locks at the premiere of her “Renaissance” tour film.

Knowles, 70, posted a montage video of the nasty comments and ended with the message: “Beyoncé is a brown skin girl, sometimes more or less light. A brown skin girl is more than a skin color. It’s a culture, a pride, a strength.”

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