Dublin Wax Museum Removes ‘Hideous’ Sinead O’Connor Figure After Uproar
Dublin’s National Wax Museum quickly removed its new figure honoring the late Sinead O’Connor following a backlash over its "hideous" appearance.
Dublin, Ireland’s National Wax Museum quickly removed its new figure honoring the late Sinead O’Connor following a backlash — including from the singer’s family — over the waxwork’s “hideous” appearance. The wax museum unveiled the O’Connor figure on Thursday and, soon after, was met by swift criticism over the work, which more resembled an android impersonating a human than the “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer. When the “masterpiece” was initially revealed, the museum said on social media that the O’Connor figure honored Hegarty’s “incredible career and the legacy he leaves behind in every meticulously crafted figure.” However, on Friday, Dunning admitted that when he first saw the Sinead statue, “I didn’t get that feeling that I normally get from PJ’s fantastic work.”
