Critics\u2062 argue that Zegler&#8217;s PR missteps could contribute to \u200cthe\u2064 movie\u2019s potential failure. The \u200dactress has \u200breceived backlash for her comments on social media, where she has disrespected\u200b the original &#8220;Snow White&#8221; and made polarizing statements about feminism \u200band Israeli-Palestinian politics. Following the release of the movie&#8217;s trailer, which faced mockery for its heavy use of CGI,\u2063 Zegler initially received praise \u2064for thanking fans. However, she \u2063quickly followed up with a political message supporting Palestine, further alienating some of her \u200baudience.\u2062 The article\u2063 suggests that Zegler&#8217;s controversial public statements, particularly in light of her co-star Gal Gadot&#8217;s Israeli heritage, could jeopardize the film\u2019s \u200dsuccess, leading the author to predict it will be a major box office flop.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Whoever runs PR for Disney&rsquo;s new Snow White, Rachel Zegler, needs to be fired.<\/p>\n<p>The young star&rsquo;s inability to contain herself will likely cost Disney hundreds of millions of dollars when the company&rsquo;s live-action remake of &ldquo;Snow White,&rdquo; starring Zegler, hits theaters in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Just when you thought her PR campaign for the movie couldn&rsquo;t get any worse (so far Zegler has disrespected the original &ldquo;Snow White&rdquo; movie, lectured the audience about feminism and come off like an entitled brat) the situation managed to get a whole lot worse for Disney on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>After the first official trailer for the movie debuted, with audiences mocking its crude overuse of CGI, Zegler took to X to thank those who watched the trailer.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">i love you all so much! thank you for the love and for 120m views on our trailer in just 24 hours! what a whirlwind.<\/p>\n<p>i am in the thick of rehearsals for romeo + juliet so i&rsquo;m gonna get outta here. bye for now. &#10084;&#65039;&#127822;&#128330;&#65039;<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; rachel zegler (she\/her\/hers) (@rachelzegler) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rachelzegler\/status\/1823145928137875834?\">August 12, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>  <script> \t\t\t\tif( ! getCookie( 'ff_subbed' ) ) if( typeof FFADS.replace_ict !='undefined' ) if( FFADS.replace_ict ) eval( FFADS.replace_ict ); \t\t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;i love you all so much! thank you for the love and for 120m views on our trailer in just 24 hours! what a whirlwind,&rdquo; Zegler wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;i am in the thick of rehearsals for romeo + juliet so i&rsquo;m gonna get outta here. bye for now.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>If she had let it end there, this may have been a win for the young actress, one of the few she&rsquo;s had in recent years.

The young actress&#8217;s lack of restraint could potentially lead to significant financial losses for Disney when the live-action adaptation featuring her is released in 2025. Just when it seemed her promotional efforts couldn&#8217;t get any worse\u2014having previously disrespected the original film, lectured audiences on feminism, and come across as entitled\u2014things took a turn for the worse on Monday. Following the release of the first official trailer, which received criticism for its excessive CGI use, Zegler expressed gratitude on X (formerly Twitter) to those who viewed it: &#8220;I love you all so much! Thank you for the love and for 120 million views on our trailer in just 24 hours! What a whirlwind. I am deep into rehearsals for Romeo + Juliet so I\u2019m going to sign off now. Bye for now.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>If she had stopped there, it might have been a rare positive moment amidst her recent controversies\u2014a genuine thank-you rather than taking support for granted. However, she followed up with another post that reignited political tensions: &#8220;And always remember, free Palestine.&#8221; While her initial message garnered 1.4 million views and was relatively well-received, her second post\u2014which alienated part of her audience that does not support anti-Israel sentiments\u2014received 5.7 million views.<\/p>\n<p>This move erased any goodwill she may have built with families considering whether to see her film. This isn&#8217;t Zegler&#8217;s first instance of distancing herself from traditional values; at just 23 years old, she&#8217;s previously called out figures like Gina Carano and J.K. Rowling and made statements about how Snow White would not be saved by a prince because \u201cit\u2019s no longer 1937.\u201d She has also criticized the original prince as being a \u201cstalker\u201d and admitted she never liked the classic movie growing up.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this latest anti-Israel comment particularly troubling is that Zegler\u2019s co-star Gal Gadot has faced backlash due to her Israeli background; there are even calls to boycott their film because Gadot served in the Israel Defense Forces according to reports from The Times of Israel. Instead of supporting Gadot during this time, Zegler seems to be contributing to an atmosphere of antisemitism while further alienating Disney&#8217;s audience.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s predicted that Disney\u2019s &#8220;Snow White&#8221; will become one of the biggest box office failures in 2025\u2014and Zegler will have no one but herself to blame<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2324469,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/zegler-gadot.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[6733,6344,38135,38134,38133],"class_list":["post-2324468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-controversy","tag-disney","tag-filmindustry","tag-freepalestine","tag-snowwhite"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/zegler-gadot.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2324468"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324468\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2324469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2324468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2324468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2324468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
