News summary

Rachel Zegler, the lead actress in Disney's controversial 2025 live-action remake of Snow White, has spoken out about the immense backlash she faced related to her casting, comments on the original film, and political statements. Despite negative reviews and a disappointing box office, Zegler has reflected on the personal toll of the criticism, revealing that therapy and anti-anxiety medication were crucial in helping her cope. She emphasized that her psychiatrist's assurance that "what you're going through isn't normal" was profoundly helpful, and that medication was a "game changer" for her ability to function and regain confidence. While acknowledging the harshness of the online attacks, Zegler rejects adopting a victim mindset, instead choosing positivity and happiness as conscious decisions.
