In a turbulent turn of events, actress Rachel Zegler finds herself at the center of controversy following the disappointing box office performance of Disney’s “Snow White.” Reports suggest that Disney is distancing itself from Zegler, positioning her as a scapegoat for the film’s failure. Anonymous sources within the studio have indicated that Zegler’s behavior during interviews and on social media has created significant headaches for Disney. Her controversial comments, including dismissing the original 1938 animated film as “weird and creepy,” have sparked backlash.

The situation escalated further when Zegler posted a pro-Palestinian message on social media during a promotional event for the film, which reportedly shocked Disney executives amid rising tensions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In response to growing concerns about her public persona, Disney assigned her a social media consultant to help manage her online presence. Despite attempts to mend fences, including apologizing to critics and even Trump supporters, the damage was done. “Snow White” has been widely criticized, with its reception mirroring that of other recent Disney releases that failed to resonate with audiences.

Moreover, Zegler’s actions have also drawn negative attention towards her co-star, Gal Gadot, who has faced death threats due to her pro-Israel stance. This has led to heightened security measures for Gadot, underscoring the real-world consequences of Zegler’s remarks. Critics argue that Zegler’s behavior not only jeopardized her own career but also put her co-stars at risk.

As industry insiders speculate on Zegler’s future in Hollywood, many believe her prospects for starring in major blockbuster films are dim. While she may find opportunities on Broadway or in independent films, the fallout from “Snow White” serves as a cautionary tale about the responsibilities that come with fame, especially in a landscape where social media can amplify controversies to unprecedented levels.
