A wax figure of Sinead O’Connor has been removed from a museum in Dublin after the singer’s family and fans spoke out against its display. The figurine, which was part of the National Wax Museum Plus’ collection, featured a likeness of O’Connor with her iconic shaved head and pierced nose. However, many people felt that the figure was inaccurate and offensive, as it did not depict O’Connor in her current appearance or acknowledge her struggles with addiction and mental health issues. The museum faced backlash on social media after posting photos of the figurine on its website. In response to the criticism, the National Wax Museum Plus removed the Sinead O’Connor wax figure from display. A spokesperson for the museum told People that the decision was made to ‘respect the artist’s wishes and the sensitivities of her fans.’ The removal of the figurine comes after a similar incident in which a wax figure of Frida Kahlo was criticized for its perceived inaccuracies. This is not the first time that a wax figure has been removed due to public outcry. In 2019, a wax figure of Taylor Swift was taken down from Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas after fans felt it did not accurately depict the singer’s current appearance.
