Bieber’s NYC waxwork removed after far too much groping
By Chris Cooke | Published on Wednesday 12 February 2014
The Bieber’s waxwork at the New York outpost of Madame Tussauds has been taken off display because there’s been far too much groping going on. Basically Justin’s wax alter-ego has been fondled into a waxy blob by the star’s fans, and the last thing the poor boy needs right now is “meltdown” analogies.
Well, that was the New York Post’s PageSix.com’s take on this story. It sounds a bit like the tourist attraction has actually decided that its Bieber wax model, based on a younger version of the popstar, is looking a bit dated, and really they ought to make themselves a new version, presumably dressed in an orange jumpsuit with his hands cuffed.
Though a source at the museum admitted that having so many Beliebers posing with the wax version of their hero had taken its toll on the model. Said source told PageSix: “With no ropes or barriers to stop them, thousands of fans have had their photographs taken with him since then – but it has taken its toll”.
Meanwhile Tussauds General Manager Bret Pidgeon said of the need to remove his wax Bieber from display: “This is disappointing, but hopefully we can welcome a new ‘grown up’ Justin back to the attraction in the near future”.
