Ariana Grande said the fan edits of the Wicked poster are complicated, after her co-star, Cynthia Erivo, called them deeply hurtful.

I find AI so conflicting and troublesome sometimes, she told Variety on Saturday during the 2024 Academy Museum Gala. But I think its just kind of such a massive adjustment period.

Grande was asked to weigh in on the recent poster edit controversy where a fan tweaked the Wicked poster, and Erivo felt the modification was disrespectful.

This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen, equal to that awful AI of us fighting, equal to people posing the question is your ***** green, Erivo wrote on her Instagram story Wednesday, alongside the fan-made poster. None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us.
