Controversy Over Zegler's 'Snow White' Comments

Rachel Zegler, lead actress in Disney's live-action 'Snow White' remake, has been criticized by Jonah Platt, son of the film's producer, Marc Platt, for her political statements, which he claims contributed to the film's poor box office performance. Zegler faced backlash for her 'Free Palestine' tweet, which she posted after the film's trailer release, inciting controversy and reportedly prompting Marc Platt to confront her. Jonah Platt accused Zegler of being 'immature' and 'narcissistic,' suggesting that her actions detracted from the film's success and affected the livelihoods of its crew. The film struggled at the box office, earning significantly less than its production budget, with some critics defending Zegler despite the negative publicity. This situation is compounded by Zegler's previous controversial comments about the original 'Snow White' film, which she described as 'weird' and 'sexist'.
