It cannot be denied that Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's habit of crying at every opportunity is starting to make people wonder. Many consider them too emotional about things that aren't that important.
Some even joke that they should become brand ambassadors for tissues because of their habit of crying in front of the camera. Some netizens on social media feel that their behavior is less professional. They believe that both Ariana and Cynthia cannot control their emotions in front of many people.
Such criticism arises because they are seen as not maintaining the image expected of public figures, especially while promoting a film as big as WICKED.
On the other hand, their loyal fans defend them fiercely. According to fans, these tears actually show how dedicated they are to this project.
So, what do you think, KLovers? Are they just pretending to promote, or is it really true that WICKED holds a special place for Ariana and Cynthia?

Cynthia Erivo finally answered the many people's questions about their tears. In a radio interview with Heart, she explained that the tears don't come easily. The long and challenging filming process of WICKED often made their emotions hard to contain.
"We were like reliving everything we went through," Cynthia revealed in the conversation.
This project is not just about acting but also an intense inner journey. From the pandemic that hindered production to the actors' strike that delayed filming, it all became a very exhausting yet impactful experience.
Ariana Grande personally stated that she feels very emotionally connected to the character Glinda that she plays.
"Glinda is the most vulnerable part of me," she said in one interview. So it's understandable that every time they discuss this film, it feels like reopening a box of memories that makes their hearts tremble.

For Ariana and Cynthia, WICKED is more than just a musical film. The film is a symbol of struggle, hope, and love that connects them with the fans. Their tears were also triggered by the incredible energy given by fans during the promotional tour.
Cynthia explains that every time they meet fans, they hear many stories about how WICKED inspires people's lives. This makes them feel a great responsibility to give their best.
"We're not just playing characters, but also bringing hope to many people," Cynthia said.
In addition, the challenging shooting process, which included having to finish the final scenes after the strike ended, added to the weight of this journey. When they finally got to share that experience, the emotions that had been held back could no longer be contained.
What do you think, KLovers? Were Ariana and Cynthia's tears excessive? Surely the answers will vary. But one thing is for sure, projects like WICKED clearly mean a lot to them, both professionally and personally. Before we jump to judge, it’s also important to know the other side behind their journey, right KLovers? If Not Now, When?
