Gilchrist, an interviewer known for her viral "holding space for the lyrics of 'Defying Gravity'" moment during a Wicked press junket, has no plans to monetize the meme despite its popularity. Gilchrist, who works in queer media, expressed confusion rather than offense at the merchandise featuring her image and remains focused on the positive impact of the moment for marginalized communities. She acknowledges the cynics but emphasizes the meme's significance for those who relate to her message.
