Wicked star Cynthia Erivo has received an onslaught of online attacks from fans, and it seems SZA has had enough. According to the “Good Days” singer, it’s “classic misogynoir.” SZA was responding to an Instagram post about how Erivo memes have gotten “out of hand.” The trolling seemed to increase only after a red carpet incidentwhere a fan tried to approach her co-star, Ariana Grande, and she helped move her out of the way and comfort her. Since then, there have been dozens of memes depicting
