‘Perimenopausal’ Leah Remini is ‘screaming’ over Beyonce wax figure comparison
Crazy in love with this masterpiece.
Leah Remini couldn’t help but laugh after a wax figure of Beyoncé was compared to her.
Madame Tussauds Blackpool in Blackpool, England, revealed their new statue resembling the “Run the World (Girls)” singer, 42, on Wednesday.
Social media users couldn’t help but notice that Remini, 53, looked like Queen Bey herself — and the actress happily welcomed all of the commentary.
“I am screaming! And loving all the tweets!” the “King of Queens” actress hilariously penned on X, formerly Twitter.
“This perimenopausal woman will take any and all comparisons to the beautiful Beyoncé!” she guffawed.
One user was “completely” in agreement about the similarities between the two women.
“Girl you and B are beyond beautiful ladies!!” the user posted.
A second added: “This was Beyonce’s ‘Leah Remini’ era.”
One person asked: “Anyone else see Leah Remini, Mariah Carey and Rihanna with a hint of Beyoncé? Or is it just me?”
“Never realized the face resemblance,” another wrote.
“Leahoncé!” one joked, adding a mash-up of the two women’s names.
“Definitely thought it was leah … who does these wax figures anyway they need their eyes checked,” a person said.
A fan chimed in: “It looks like you more than B.”
In 2017, a wax figure housed at Madame Tussauds in New York City of Beyoncé also caused backlash.
The statue of the Grammy winner was taken out of the exhibit due to its nonresemblance.
“Beyonce’s wax figure at @MadameTussauds looks like Kate Gosselin from ‘Kate Plus 8’ wearing a purple ensemble. Um, can we get a re-do? 🤔,” an X user penned at the time.
Madame Tussauds’ artists spoke out about the criticism, which claimed Beyoncé looked whitewashed, in an interview with the New York Times.
“Our talented team of sculptors take every effort to ensure we accurately color match all of our wax figures to the celebrity being depicted. Lighting within the attraction combined with flash photography may distort and misrepresent the color of our wax figures, which is something our sculptors are unable to account for at the production stage,” they said in a statement at the time.
“We love, respect and enjoy a working relationship with Beyoncé. We have adjusted the styling and lighting of her figure and she is on display.”
