I'm aware of the url mishap with the dolls and vaguely aware of the poster controversy but I've also seen people online call it a PR disaster and I'm entirely out of the loop on that

What's the poster controversy? I guess I'm more out of the loop than you are. I'm still looking forward to the movie though, I love the musical.

a fan edited the official movie poster that erased half of the star's face and added lipstick and tweaked a bunch of stuff,, the star got really upset and tweeted that the poster was offensive and her erasure hurt her and she wanted people to know that it hurt her.

so a bunch of people attacked her.

she wrote more than necessary, maybe, but she didn't attack the fan or ask the fan to take the poster down or anything like that, she was just letting people know that she felt hurt, and she was rabidly attacked for expressing herself.

That doesn't sound like the movie studio dropping the ball or anything. If it was a fan edited poster, that's completely out of their hands.

The problem was not the fan, it was how the actress reacted.
