‘Wicked’ star Marissa Bode shares message after being harassed by viewers over her disability: “It is absolutely okay to not like a fictional character…Jokes about Nessa’s disability itself is deeply uncomfortable because disability is not fictional.”

people need to leave her alone she doesn’t deserve hate at all.. she’s NOT her character and it’s disgusting to make fun of her disability.

If people are harassing her because she played a character in a fictional story they need medicated.

Marissa Bode nailed it… criticize the character, not the person. Disability isn’t a punchline, and if people can’t separate fiction from reality, that says more about them than anything else.

Ok who do I need to fight? This is beyond awful and inhumane…

She ate with this one please y'all need to stop harassing disabilities people they didn't ask to be like that

she clocked, we should respect her!

Poor Marissa. She doesn’t deserve this.

she’s actually disabled ???

A neighbor of mine who used to laugh at people when they were in wheelchairs and on walkers is now on a walker herself. You should see the look on her face. She knows exactly what people are thinking about her now. And just when she needs compassion the most, nobody feels sorry for her. The same goes for anyone making fun of the disabled online. Some day - but only if you live long enough - you’ll be disabled too. Otherwise, as my mother would say, at least you’ll make a good looking corpse.

marissa bode plays nessa rose in the movie, she is not actually nessa rose and people need to remember that
