Gina Loudon Accuses 'Wicked' of Racism

Gina Loudon, a MAGA media personality, criticized the film 'Wicked' as 'offensive' and 'racist' toward white people, incorrectly claiming that its star, Ariana Grande, is 'obviously' Hispanic. During her segment on Real America's Voice, Loudon expressed disappointment over the film's success, which grossed nearly $165 million in its opening weekend, and accused Hollywood of catering to 'woke' narratives. She described Grande's portrayal of Glinda, the 'good witch,' as problematic due to her alleged racial appropriation and the stereotype of a 'ditzy, blonde, white' villain. In reality, Grande is Italian-American, which Loudon failed to acknowledge, prompting backlash on social media for her inaccuracies and perceived ignorance. Critics pointed out that Loudon's comments reflect a broader pattern of MAGA figures seeking to find offense in progressive media portrayals. This incident highlights ongoing cultural tensions regarding representation and identity in Hollywood.
