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.

Former GOP Senator Gets Brutal Wakeup Call After Criticizing People For Playing 'Candy Crush' Instead Of 'Making Babies'

Ben Sasse represented Nebraska in the United States Senate from 2015 to 2023. As a Midwestern moderate, the sometimes controversial Sasse was often critical of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump on social media and on the Senate floor.

At one point, the Nebraska GOP censured him because of his criticism of Trump. But Sasse, like Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins, would still vote with the majority of his party when his vote was needed to back Trump's agenda.
