The actress plays Monroe in the upcoming Netflix movie, “Blonde.”

Last week, a trailer for the highly-anticipated biopic was released.

However, fans were displeased by Armas’ accent.

The actress was bashed for having a Cuban accent while playing Monroe.

Many slammed her not embodying the person of Monroe.

However, the late Hollywood icon’s estate has come to Armas defense.

“Ana has artfully captured the essence of Marilyn’s voice,” a statement released read.
