Disney’s remake of ‘Snow White’ is a doomed film, mostly due to the film’s star Rachel Zegler, who has spent the last two years shooting off her mouth in ways that have completely turned off potential audience members.
In 2023, Zegler trashed the original film and its fans. Last August, Zegler took to social media and made comments about a ‘free Palestine.’ In November, the seemingly dense actress insulted Trump voters, and then tried to walk back her comments but the damage was done.
Now the film is set to open in March and Zegler is back in the news, trying to soften her image. This was most likely a tactical move by Disney to do some damage control before the movie hits theaters.
Variety reports:
Rachel Zegler Says Live-Action ‘Snow White’ Backlash Is Due to ‘Passion’ For the Original Movie: ‘We’re Not Always Going to Agree With Everyone’
“Snow White” star Rachel Zegler says the backlash against Disney‘s latest live-action remake is due to “passion” for the original film.
While Disney’s live-action re-releases have seen better days since 2019’s “The Lion King,” the “Snow White” rehash has been a particular point of contention in some circles due to Zegler’s Columbian heritage. The outrage came to a head when the “Y2K” star called the 1937 original “dated,” featuring a prince that “literally stalks” Snow White. Zegler now says she interprets the controversies as an overprotective reaction to a beloved Disney classic.
“I interpret people’s sentiments towards this film as passion,” Zegler told Vogue Mexico. “What an honor to be a part of something that people feel so passionately about. We’re not always going to agree with everyone who surrounds us and all we can do is our best.”
She continued, “I understand that the conversation comes from the community not wanting to be seen as a monolith, but the reality of being Latino and working in this industry is that we try to represent the entire diaspora. I know where I’ve been, I represent it in my narrative, and I carry it in my heart every day. No one can ever tell me that it’s not a part of me.”
This movie is going to bomb and there is nothing Disney or the star of the movie can do to change that.
No amount of damage control is going to make people watch the new Snow White movie or like Rachel Zegler. Sorry Disney #TeamPoisonApple pic.twitter.com/nq73pqO6fp

Studios need to start requiring media and social media silence from their stars, or make their woke actors suffer financial losses if they cause problems that threaten to tank a movie like this. This will keep happening unless they make some broad changes.
