Leah Remini is speaking out after fans noticed that a new Beyoncé wax figure at Madame Tussauds London bears a striking resemblance to her. The actress took to social media to express her outrage and also playfully embrace the comparisons. On Thursday, February 8, Madame Tussauds Blackpool revealed the highly-anticipated wax figure of Beyoncé, which also included new figures of Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Tyra Banks. However, it was Leah Remini who stole the spotlight as fans began pointing out the similarities between her and the wax figure. Remini, 53, took to Twitter to address the comparisons, writing, ‘I am screaming! And loving all the tweets! This perimenopausal woman will take any and all comparisons to the beautiful Beyoncé!’ She responded positively to fans who praised her appearance, while also dismissing any attempts to put down Beyoncé’s beauty. The controversial wax figure depicts Beyoncé in one of her iconic outfits, which sparked outrage for its lack of accuracy. It’s not the first time that a Beyoncé figure has faced criticism. In 2017, a statue of Beyoncé at Madame Tussauds in New York City received backlash for appearing whitewashed. Fans were quick to weigh in on the latest wax figure controversy. One Twitter user wrote, ‘I think I see more Tyra Banks than Leah Remini,’ while another jokingly challenged people to tell Leah she’s beautiful without bringing Beyoncé down. Remini responded with enthusiasm, agreeing with the sentiment. Madame Tussauds has a history of creating wax figures that miss the mark. Over the years, there have been numerous instances where celebrity figures have been criticized for their lack of resemblance. From Kate Gosselin to Rihanna, the museum has been the target of scrutiny for its inaccurate depictions. Despite the backlash, Madame Tussauds remains a popular tourist attraction, drawing in crowds eager to see their favorite celebrities immortalized in wax. Whether it’s a spot-on replica or a figure that sparks controversy, the museum continues to captivate visitors with its lifelike sculptures. As for Leah Remini, she doesn’t seem too bothered by the comparisons. In fact, she seems to be enjoying the attention and embracing the humor in the situation. While there may be some outrage over the lack of accuracy in the wax figure, the controversy only adds to the conversation around celebrity culture and the often unrealistic standards of beauty. In the end, it’s just another day in the world of celebrity gossip, where even a wax figure can create a frenzy. And for Leah Remini, it’s an opportunity to show that she can handle the spotlight and take it all in stride.
