Rachel Zegler Acknowledges Snow White Controversies Amid Birthday Celebration

Rachel Zegler marked her 24th birthday on Instagram with a series of photos and a cryptic caption reflecting on a challenging year, referencing her age with song lyrics and sharing no direct comment on recent controversies. Zegler faced significant backlash and racist criticism for her casting as Snow White in Disney's live-action remake, which struggled at the box office amid debates over her comments and the use of CGI. Despite the attention, she appeared to remain neutral publicly, instead focusing on personal milestones and sharing candid moments, including a hospital selfie. This week, Zegler was also notably overlooked for a Tony Award nomination for her role in the Broadway revival of Romeo + Juliet, with several peers receiving nods. The year has seen continued scrutiny for Zegler, including public criticism from figures like Danica Patrick regarding the Snow White film's performance. Looking ahead, Zegler is set to star in the upcoming comedy-drama She Gets It From Me alongside Marisa Tomei.
