“Snow White” actress Rachel Zegler is in the spotlight again after an old tweet of hers where she had cursed out President Trump has gone viral on social media.
While Disney’s new “Snow White” remake has dealt with hurdles for years, one of the chief liabilities for the movie has been polarizing rhetoric from its star, Rachel Zegler.
Since it began production in 2022, the film made headlines due to multiple controversies, including a year-long delay, a debate over how to portray the original fairytale’s dwarfs, and an outspoken lead actress who prompted backlash with her public mockery of the original Disney film and later of supporters of President Donald Trump.
Zegler’s history of social media controversy came to a head on Wednesday after Jonah Platt, the son of one of the film’s producers, Marc Platt, defended his father and slammed Zegler in a now-deleted Instagram comment that he made in response to a social media user who accused his dad of harassing Zegler over her outspoken political views. Variety reported that the producer had personally got involved with the backlash surrounding Zegler after she shared an anti-Israel post while promoting the film in August.
