Beyoncé fans bash new wax figure of singer: ‘This is a white woman’

Sacre bleu!
Madame Tussaud’s famed wax museum in Paris has unveiled a new wax statue of Beyoncé and it’s not sitting well with members of the Beyhive.
Many were irked that the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer’s skin color seemed to be whitewashed.
“🤔😒 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.
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.”
Unfortunately, the singer’s skin-tone has been the source of endless chatter throughout her career.
Last year, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles clapped back at trolls who accused her daughter of “bleaching her skin” or trying to pass herself off as a white woman by donning platinum locks to the premiere of her “Renaissance” tour film.
Knowles, 70, posted a montage video showing the nasty comments and ended with a message that read: “Beyoncé is a brown skin girl sometimes more or less light. A brown skin girl it’s [sic] 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 alleging that her career was benefited by her lighter color.
