Red Carpet Rivalry: Fans Stir Drama

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have been the talk of the town lately, but not just for their performances in the highly anticipated films, Wicked and Wicked: For Good. While the duo has often been seen showcasing a seemingly sisterly bond on the red carpet, some fans are now accusing Erivo of stepping out of line. The controversy began when fans claimed that the 38-year-old actress was trying to upstage her co-star, Grande, during public appearances.

Cynthia's 'Motherly' Move

It wasn't long ago that Cynthia Erivo was applauded for her protective instincts. During the Singapore premiere of their film, Erivo leapt to Grande's defense when an overzealous fan rushed her on the red carpet. This "motherly" move won her praise from many, highlighting the camaraderie between the two stars.

Fans Weigh In

Despite the previous praise, the tide has turned for some fans. A recent YouTube clip has fueled the fire, showing Erivo fussing with Grande's necklace during an interview. This seemingly innocuous gesture has sparked online criticism, with some fans accusing Erivo of trying to steal the spotlight. "It's like she's always trying to draw attention to herself," one fan commented.

Public Reaction

“Cynthia needs to let Ariana shine without making it about herself,” a fan expressed on social media, echoing a sentiment shared by many.

As the debate rages on, both stars continue to promote their films, maintaining a united front despite the swirling rumors. Whether this red carpet drama will fade or escalate remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure – the spotlight is shining brightly on this Hollywood duo.
