After Zendaya debuted a Barbie based on her Oscars look from this year, Demi Lovato expressed her desire to have a Barbie modeled off of her as well. However, Zendaya’s fans were not having it, accusing Lovato of trying to steal the thunder away from Zendaya and not truly wanting a doll based on her body type.
Zendaya’s fans quickly came to her defense, accusing Lovato of being “jealous” that Zendaya got a Barbie and the “Cool For the Summer” singer didn’t.
“This is a big win for women of color,” one fan wrote, Gossip Cop reports. “Wait a few days to talk about measurements.”
As we previously reported, Zendaya debuted her Barbie this past weekend, thanking the company for “allowing me to be apart of your diversification and expansion of the definition of beauty.” The Barbie has dreadlocks and wears the same Vivienne Westwood dress she wore to the 2015 Oscars.
Zendaya hasn’t commented on Lovato’s backlash as of yet.
