A follow up to this post, Cynthia Erivo reflects on her viral statement and discusses the challenges of AI and fan edits.

Earlier, Erivo expressed her disappointment on Instagram, sharing a fan-made edit of her movie’s poster, "This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen... None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us." She emphasized the importance of her visible eyes in the poster, adding, "To edit my face and hide my eyes is to erase me. And that is just deeply hurtful."

When asked about her "clapback" by Entertainment Tonight at the CFDA Awards, Erivo laughed and clarified, "It wasn't necessarily a clapback." She elaborated, "I think I'm really protective of the role. I'm passionate about it, and I know that the fans are passionate about it. It was a human moment of wanting to protect Elphaba. I probably should've called my friends, but it's fine."
