Yes and the producers of the Funny Girl revival pretty much ignored that because the show wasn’t making a ton of money with Beanie Feldstein in the lead, so they got desperate

Beanie also was terrible for that role and only got it because her dad either produced or rewrote the production. Regardless it was because of her dad and she got awful reviews. When Lea came in the show got far more acclaim because even though Lea has done some of the worst things and has been awful to work with at least she’s actually talented

People got mad at her so she went away long enough for people to forget why. Tale as old as time.

Helps that it wasn't exactly a betrayal of her brand.

She got dubbed racist, but the charges didn't stick. Covid saved some people's career because we forgot why we were mad at them.
