Rachel Zegler Says Infamous Woke ‘Snow White’ Comments Were Misinterpreted After Massive Reshoots Try to Salvage Disney Film

When actress Rachel Zegler gives an interview, Disney executives get nervous. The Snow White star has caused no small amount of PR damage from speaking off the cuff, and her latest interview with Variety features its fair share of zingers.
Rachel Zegler casts herself as the victim of sexism in the backlash to her Snow White comments, claiming people deliberately misinterpreted what she said in order to see a woman being torn down. Later, she doubles down on her “free Palestine” activism — a phrase that has been adopted by anti-Israel activists demanding the elimination of the Jewish state.
She also drops a few f-bombs — not exactly behavior becoming of a Disney princess.
Zegler ignited an enormous backlash from Disney fans last year over comments in which she insulted the original 1937 animated film. Old videos resurfaced showing the actress pompously trashing the Disney classic, claiming that the Prince character is a creepy stalker and that women no longer crave romance.
Her snarky attitude created a PR nightmare for Disney’s live-action remake, in which she plays the title role. The release was pushed back by a full year to 2025 amid the PR blowback, as well as reports of extensive reshoots.
In an interview this week with Variety, Zegler cast herself as a victim of sexism, saying she wasn’t surprised by what she called people’s willful misunderstanding of her comments.
“I’ve watched women get torn down my whole life, my whole career,” she said. “We’ll watch it in the election that’s upcoming. We’re gonna witness that for a long time, I fear. Sometimes it can feel like we’re going back; it certainly felt that way when that was happening.”

LOL!!..
This Snow (not) White live action remake from Disney has been a dumpster fire for them that hasn’t gone out for like three years now.
I love it.

She thought it was all about her and not about marketing a movie.

Just another above-average looking idiot with a toxic personality.
She’s essentially spiked her own career. In two years no one will remember her.

Snow White is a classic story. Disney took it from European folklore dating back to the Middle Ages
The story follows natural law of gender identification, problem/resolution as well as the mathematical laws regarding story line
It cannot be re made by laws disregarding these components
It is a different story with a classic story’s name
It’s like any Republican congressman for instance. Not a republican
No one cares
No one with any sense is going to watch it

Fish eyes is going to cost Disney half a billion $ if this piece of crap even gets released. More likely to be scrapped as a tax write off.

When does Disney care about revenue and loss?

It will probably go straight to Disney+ like some of the other trash heap productions they had with an openly homosexual agenda went...in order to save them embarrassment in the box office when they come to the realization of how much of a bomb its going to be.
Share Holders tend to get pissed off when they see movies losing a quarter of a billion in the box office. Sending it straight to Disney+ is a way to avoid the “Total Flop” headlines.
