Rachel Zegler Faces Backlash Over Trump Comments

Rachel Zegler, star of Disney's upcoming live-action Snow White, has faced significant backlash from Trump supporters after posting incendiary comments on Instagram following the election results. In her posts, she expressed her shock and disappointment, stating that Trump supporters may 'never know peace' and criticized the political climate as a 'deep, deep sickness' in the U.S. The comments prompted calls for a boycott of the film, with some fans urging Disney to cancel its release entirely. Zegler later attempted to apologize for her remarks as criticism intensified, although some deemed her apology insincere. Disney has not officially responded to the controversy but is under pressure to manage the fallout as the film is set for release in March 2025. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between celebrity activism and public sentiment, particularly in a polarized political environment.
