'Wicked' Star Marissa Bode Speaks Out Against Ableist Comments on Her Character
Actress Marissa Bode is calling for more kindness after facing hurtful ableist comments on social media regarding her portrayal of Nessarose in Wicked. In a heartfelt TikTok video posted on Saturday, Bode, who uses a wheelchair, shared her experience of receiving "gross and harmful" remarks since the film’s release.
Bode plays Elphaba's (Cynthia Erivo) sister, Nessarose, whose complicated relationship with Elphaba has sparked debates among viewers. While the film differs slightly from the musical, Bode’s performance has drawn particular attention, especially regarding her character's disability.
Although Bode emphasized that it's perfectly fine to dislike a fictional character, she expressed discomfort with the aggressive comments focused on Nessarose’s disability. “Disability is not fictional,” she stated, adding that jokes about her character’s inability to walk or harmful comments such as “push Nessa out of her wheelchair” are deeply upsetting.
Bode acknowledged that many of these comments come from ignorance but stressed the importance of standing up against such harmful behavior, particularly for the sake of younger individuals who may be affected by these words. She reminded followers of the importance of kindness and understanding, invoking Wicked’s core lesson about empathy.
"Please be kind," Bode urged, adding, "One of the major themes within Wicked is having the ability to listen and understand one another, and I hope many of you can carry that with you."
