Leah Remini couldn't contain her excitement after social media users drew comparisons between her and a wax figure of Beyoncé.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday, Leah expressed her delight, exclaiming, “I am screaming! And loving all the tweets!” She humorously added, “This perimenopausal woman will take any and all comparisons to the beautiful Beyoncé.”

Leah's reaction came in response to a tweet from TMZ Live featuring Beyoncé's new wax figure, which sparked a wave of comparisons to Leah. The tweet asked, “Beyonce's new wax figure is being compared to Leah Remini. Who do you think it looks like?”

On February 8, Madame Tussauds in the UK unveiled wax figures of Beyoncé and Lady Gaga on social media.

Despite the unveiling, some Beyoncé fans expressed disappointment with her statue, with many noting its resemblance to Leah on X.

One user humorously remarked, “That's Leah Remini with a tan.”
Another joked, “Beyoncé Giselle Leah Remini-Knowles-Carter.”

“I thought this was Leah Remini before I opened the pic,” added a third user.
Additionally, some social media users saw similarities between the wax figure and Rihanna or Tyra Banks.

This criticism isn’t new for the wax museum, as it has faced backlash before for its depictions of celebrities. In October, Lil Wayne hilariously reacted to a figure of himself, tweeting, “Sorry wax museum but that ain’t me! You tried tho and I appreciate the effort.”

Earlier in 2017, a figure of Beyoncé launched in New York City received criticism for its inaccurate portrayal, with critics comparing it to the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera, and Kate Gosselin.
