Democrats are still struggling to reckon with their massive loss to Donald Trump and Republicans last week, and they can’t seem to figure out what went wrong for them. That is true of Democrat politicians. That is true of the corporate media. And that is true of Hollywood.
The latest example comes from actress Rachel Zegler. She rose to fame in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story remake, but you might remember her from all the controversy surrounding Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of Snow White.
There was the backlash to the beloved Seven Dwarves being dropped in favor or “magical creatures” and also to Zegler herself going off about how her version of the 19th-century German fairy tale doesn’t need a prince. All of this got Disney on its heels and led them to make changes to the film and delay the release until March 2025.
Zegler’s Comments
Well, Zegler is back with the controversial comments. You see, she is very, very upset about Donald Trump’s win as evidenced by a post on her Instagram Story. IG Stories disappear after 24 hours, but a screenshot of her tirade – which was written in all lower case letters in true Gen Z fashion – started making the rounds on X on Wednesday.
It begins:
“i find myself speechless in the midst of this. 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…”
For the record, she has no daughter. She has no children at all.
“…leaning us towards a world that will force her to have a baby she doesn’t want…”
Your daughter who doesn’t exist? Zegler is 23 years old with no kids.
“…leaning us towards a world that is fearful. i shouldn’t be this shocked. but i am. i am heartbroken for my friends who awoke [in] fear this morning. and i am here with you. to cry, to yell, to hug. to wax poetic on how the left continues to fail us in forging a new path forward. this loss should not have been. and it certainly should not have been by so many votes.”
And there was the kicker:
“…i echo ethel cain’s statement more than anything. may Trump supporters and Trump himself never know peace.”
What the eff? In another Instagram Story, she went on to discuss the “deep, deep sickness” in the country “shown in the sheer amount of people who showed up for this man who threatens our democracy.” She also attacked X and Elon Musk and finished with “f-ck donald trump.”
‘She Has to Go’
Hello, Disney, you are going to have to redo your film again because this woman is a pig and you fired Gina Carano for far less than this nonsense.
By the way, she is starring right now on Broadway in Romeo + Juliet, so don’t go see that. But can you picture a Broadway actress who issued a post saying ‘eff Biden supporters’ or ‘may Biden or Kamala never have a moment of peace’? That person would be fired so fast it would make your head spin. They wouldn’t last one more minute in any Hollywood role.
I’m sorry, Disney, she has to go right now.
Disney’s Trump Problem
There is a report out about how these corporate media dinosaurs – including the Disney-owned ABC – are in a full-blown panic right now trying to find people who actually understand Donald Trump and his voters to be commentators on shows like The View.
I will be shocked if they find someone because they have two purported conservatives on The View right now in Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah, but they hate Trump. Even Meghan McCain was never a Trump supporter. She was just a conservative. They haven’t had an actual Trump supporter there.
So, the same company that is worried about how to get a Trump supporter on The View is going to put out a film with this star who hates us and is a woke Snow White?
They don’t know what to do. They have no conservatives in their lives. They cannot get out of the echo chamber. They are in the same echo chamber as Rachel Zegler, and that is why they can’t figure out how to fix anything.
