Stars Roast Botched Wax Figures: 'This Is An Attack!'

Numerous celebrities have voiced strong dissatisfaction with wax figures created in their likeness, with some even publicly denouncing them. Kevin Hart recently took to Instagram to express his dismay over a new statue, calling it an 'attack' and demanding a redo. The comedian's wax figure was unveiled at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

This phenomenon of inaccurate wax figures has affected many stars. In February 2024, a wax statue of Beyoncé at Madame Tussauds in England faced significant backlash for not resembling the singer. This followed a 2017 incident where another Beyoncé figure was criticized for appearing 'whitewashed.'

Other notable misfires include a 2015 Nicki Minaj figure at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, which fans felt did not capture her likeness despite her team's approval. Ariana Grande's 2019 wax figure in London also missed the mark, drawing comments that creators needed to 'start over.'

Justin Bieber, Meryl Streep, Naomi Campbell, Nicole Kidman, and Britney Spears have also been subjects of wax figures that received criticism for their lack of accuracy or unsettling appearance. These statues, created by various museums worldwide, have frequently sparked debate and disappointment among fans.
