Overview

  • Rachel Zegler faced fierce criticism after posting “free Palestine” on X during Snow White’s promotion and opposing President Trump.
  • She drew further backlash in 2022 by calling elements of the original 1937 Snow White “dated” and describing Prince Charming as a stalker.
  • Jonah Platt, son of Snow White producer Marc Platt, blamed her outspoken views for the film’s domestic gross of under $100 million.
  • In a new i-D magazine interview, Zegler revealed she sought psychiatric help and said she refuses to adopt a victim mindset.
  • Now leading the London West End revival of Evita, she maintains her political advocacy and chooses positivity and light.
