Megyn Kelly slammed Snow White star Rachel Zegler after she wished Americans who voted for Donald Trump 'never know peace.'
Zegler, 23, plays the titular Disney Princess in the $209 million-budget live-action remake of the Brothers Grimm fairytale, due to be released in March 2025.
Following Donald Trump's resounding election win last week, Zegler shared a series of devastated messages with her 2.3million Instagram followers.
'I find myself speechless in the midst of this,' Zegler said. 'May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.
'Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in. Leaning us towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in.'
Kelly called out the Hollywood starlet for the now deleted post on her SiriusXM show Thursday.
'Picture this, a Broadway actress who said "F Biden supporters, may Biden or Kamala never know peace." That person would be fired so fast it would make your head spin,' she said.
'Hello, Disney! You're gonna have to redo your film again, because this woman is a pig and you fired Gina Carano for far less than this nonsense.'

Carano has played Cara Dune in the first two seasons of the hit Star Wars series Mandalorian.
She was fired in 2021 after she compared the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany to conservatives in modern America in a social media post.
Zegler described Kamala Harris' loss as 'one that should not have been... and it certainly should not have been by so many votes.'
She said: 'There is a deep sickness in this country... shown in the sheer amount of people who showed up for this man who threatens our democracy.
'It is terrifying the number of people who stand behind what this man preaches.'
Zegler, who recently celebrated opening night for her titular role in Broadway's Romeo and Juliet, said the support for Trump as a 'foolish subscription to a false sense of security, masculinity, intelligence, patriotism and humanity.'
Kelly called out Zegler for her Snow White controversies and insisted there will be backlash for her behavior.
'There's something wrong with this person,' Kelly said. 'She's also known as the star of Disney's 'Snow White' movie. Remember, she was out being like, "There's certainly not gonna be a prince rescuing me, I can tell you that."
Kelly said Zegler, who is currently starring in Romeo and Juliet on Broadway, would have been fired if she was a conservative who said the same thing about Democrats
'Even Disney got on its heels and they're like, we're gonna reshoot the movie immediately… because there's so much backlash to her arrogance and just inanity. Well, she's back, and she's very, very upset about the Trump win.'
Zegler has repeatedly sparked fury with her woke views and is caught up in an apparent feud with her Snow White co-star Gal Gadot over their opposing stances on the Israel-Hamas war.
The film has been riddled with controversy, with some fans baffled by the decision to cast a Latina actress to portray the famously 'fair-skinned' character who is known for being 'as white as snow'.
Others took issue with casting Jewish Israeli actress Gadot amid the current war - with pro-Palestine viewers claiming her inclusion calls for a boycott while conversely pro-Israel viewers claimed it was offensive to cast her in an 'evil' role.
