Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum revealed its wax sculptures of Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn and Joaquin Phoenix's Joker ahead of 'Joker: Folie à Deux'—but fans aren't appreciating Gaga's likeness.

Kitschy tourist attraction Ripley's Believe It Or Not! is capitalizing on the Joker: Folie à Deux movie, the sequel movie to 2019's Joker starring Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn and Joaquin Phoenix, who is reprising the titular role.

On April 5, the museum's X (formerly Twitter) account featured the wax sculptures of the two stars as their DC Comics characters for its newest attraction ahead of the upcoming film's release.


Ripley's shared a photo of the evil duo and wrote:

"We're just clowning around, don't mind us..."

Unfortunately, the wax figure of Lady Gaga as the Joker's henchwoman disappointed people, as they didn't see a resemblance to the "Bloody Mary" singer.

Social media users dragged Ripley's for disrespecting Gaga like that.

After all, she wasn't exactly born this way.


A user wondered if the sculptor had a personal vendetta for Lady Gaga.

Others thought the sculpture was a living nightmare.


Tourists thought Ripley's rival museum did Gaga better.

Yet, here we are.

Even the late Heath Ledger, who portrayed the Joker from 2008's The Dark Knight, disapproved.

Joker: Folie à Deux is billed as a "musical psychological thriller" film, which left moviegoers doing a doubletake.

However, it added to the already hyped sequel to Joker, which was intended as a standalone film without sequels but launched as part of DC Black, a line of movies based on the DC Comics unrelated to the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).

Joker: Folie à Deux is directed by Todd Phillips, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Scott Silver.

It is scheduled for an October 4, 2024 release by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Melania Ripped After Using Event With Freed Israeli Hostages To Promote Her New Documentary

First Lady Melania Trump was criticized after she used an event at the White House with freed Israeli hostages to promote her new documentary Melania, which follows her in the 20 days leading up to President Donald Trump’s second inauguration following the 2024 presidential election.

Amazon MGM paid $40 million for the distribution rights and reportedly poured another $35 million into marketing. The film beat box office predictions to earn more than $7 million over the weekend but will need to generate much more box office to break even.

Last week, Tianna Graham shoveled out her 2016 Honda Civic and drove out after a snowstorm, took it to work, and parked it in the same spot she’d left it before: next to a water main.

But that transition can be especially hard when a person feels like they're losing themselves to their role as a mom or dad—and that feeling is made even worse when their partner hyper-fixates on their new role.
