The British actress, who stars as Elphaba alongside Ariana Grande as Glinda in the upcoming musical movie, took to social media on Wednesday to slam a doctored version of the official film poster. Erivo made it clear she wasn't impressed after an online fan account posted an altered image showing Elphaba's face shadowed by her hat. "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."
