She's ranting about Alexandra Burke now. How dare people not like her. It must be because she is black. Ridiculous.
I used to be a fan of Cynthia. I am not now.
Nothing to do with her colour. It's because she comes across as such an arrogant and confrontational person.

... she comes across as such an arrogant and confrontational person. Yeah, she does. Like in the tweets I shared here, there's this guy who said a lot of good stuff about women, and she's basically attacking him for 1) "mansplaining" and 2) not specifically applauding black women instead of women in general. What the hell is wrong with her?

Um, what the hell did this guy do wrong??? He committed the unpardonable crime of not being Cynthia Erivo.

What he actually did wrong was use lazy generalities. However, Cynthia is a f***ing nutcase.
Race was a far bigger factor than gender in the Moore/Jones election. More black women than men voted for Jones, but the difference was of only a few p/c. In Cynthia's world, anyone else's contribution counts for nothing.
Looking back at the tweet that seemed to kick this off - "We cannot continue to pick up everyone else’s slack. It means no one else is ever held accountable." - She seems to think that turning out to vote is some sort of heroic effort, rather than a matter of simple civic duty, and seems to have a chip on her shoulder that she isn't recognised as the saint she thinks she is, despite all the admiration that comes her way through her work.
The "It means no one else is ever held accountable" doesn't hold water at all - Roy Moore actually was held accountable at the ballot for his past misdeeds (if not by the legal system), and the religious right whites have received rightful scorn for their support of an alleged child molester.

Yeah, and what she seems to imply with that original tweet is that somehow by the heroic deed of voting against the person that would do terrible things, people of colour somehow saved white people. While, indeed it is the case that African Americans played a big part in Moore's defeat, she seems to be saying that African Americans are some separate group of people who saved another group. I also like the fact that she says "We", while I very much doubt she actually voted in the Alabama senatorial election. As for the accountable part, I think she might be referring to the idea that white people should be held accountable for voting for the "wrong" candidate? I mean, my understanding of the nutcase language is quite limited, but that's what I could gather from that statement.

Also, in the Alexandra Burke discussion, she brought up damning evidence that the person she was arguing with committed the terrible crime of being a white male. Case closed of course. Naturally, the words "queen" and "preach" were used by minions.

That's it. If you have an issue with what someone tweets why not just reply to them directly? This quoting their tweets for the world to see when she is really just replying to them, just seems attention seeking.

But i'm doing it to say I agree- she's far from the only one who does it (there's a nasty bully of an academic in my circles who does it often) and it really winds me up. By all means have an argument on twitter if you so choose, but if you're a "famous" person, doing it by quote-tweets rather than reply, is a clear invite to all your followers to pile in. Which isn't fair to some poor random with 25 followers who happened to comment on the wrong tweet .

Just when I thought "Yay, Cynthia is again focusing on singing" (currently touring Japan with Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess) she strikes again on Twitter.

She needs a press secretary like Donald Trump has: someone who can respond with "Yes, she may have said 'Everyone who doesn't worship me should die in a ditch' but what she meant was ..."

I had to sign out of Twitter for a bit last night because I was going to say something I regretted.
Alexandra Burke did not get hate because she is black. She got hate (mainly from the press) because she is unlikeable, and extremely arrogant (as far as I am concerned anyway).
Cynthia Erivo needs to realise she is not the Queen, or indeed that everyone in the world is not being racist. She also needs to learn how to reply to a tweet - the whole world doesn't need to know where you're having a hissy fit at someone love.

Are we actually sure that the person operating the Twitter account really is Cynthia Erivo and not just someone having a big old joke at her expense and posting all of these frankly ridiculous and often inflammatory tweets? Have we ever seen parsley and Cynthia in the same place at the same time perchance?

Whenever I see a post on this thread, it's almost "What has she said now". People are entitled to their views but the more extreme and wound up she becomes, the easier she becomes to become a target of trolls or even racist posters.
Longer term I don't feel she is doing herself any good as with all the fall out from recent scandals, I could honestly see producers thinking she is a hot head and I'll use X instead of Cynthia as you know she is unlikely to cause any unwanted problems.
I still almost wish someone would tweet Cynthia and ask if they did a Coming To America musical would she think she'd get role as the Royal Penis Washer and just wait for the response.

Oh God, please do! I am so tempted, but when I met her she was really nice and might take the film as being some affront to black culture despite it having a black company of actors. Cynthia is a gym bunny so she'd have the body for the role. Give me 10 likes on this post and I'll do it!

I've sent it "We were discussing on a Theatre Forum about films being made in musicals and Coming to America came to mind. We thought you could be Lisa McDowell or given how you work out one of Prince Akeem's handmaidens maybe the Royal penis washer"

Is she still relevant anymore? She goes on social media and stirs the pot, and shows up at these events thinking she is famous, but really she appears to of done nothing of major note since January 2017.
