Actress Idina Menzel has come under fire from a mental health charity after joking about slashing her wrists. The Wicked and Frozen star had been asked by a journalist which songs made her cry.
She replied: "You'd think because I'm a singer I listen to a lot of music, which I do, but there's certain music that I think is so devastatingly beautiful that it's too painful to listen to sometimes.
"There's this Meshell Ndegeocello album, Bitter, that I just can't listen to. It's so good. It makes me just want to slit my wrists."
Her apparently flippant response did not impress the National Alliance on Mental Illness, which said she was showing a “lack of education” and making light of a serious issue.
