Cristiano Ronaldo isn't the only celebrity to be recently immortalized via statue, only to have the final product turn out horrifically inaccurate. Beyoncé's new wax figure at Madame Tussauds in New York is even worse than Ronaldo's, however, as it showcases the famed songstress several shades lighter than her actual complexion.

Expectantly, as images of the figure began to circulate on social media, Beyhive came out in full force, calling out the blatant whitewashing of their beloved queen. Some even likened the statue to that of Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears.

It remains to be seen if the ones responsible for Madame Tussauds' wax figure have actually ever looked at Beyoncé, but see below for some of the standout reactions to the terrible whitewashing. I... As someone who used to work at Madame Tussauds, I KNOW they have a better (an actual) Beyonce. WATTICE DIS?! https://t.co/bTptsdwLSN — Conella Lafayette (@ConStar24) July 19, 2017
