The House of Mouse has learned, via a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/desperate-disney-cuts-basic-streaming-subscription-price-75-amid-11-billion-losses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">steady stream of red ink<\/a>, that alienating half of America is not a particularly good incentive to get people to see your films, unless your name is Michael Moore or Matt Walsh.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair, Rachel Zegler might be better cast as a &ldquo;Bowling for Columbine&rdquo; type. If you remember Zegler for her acting, it&rsquo;s for her role as Maria in Steven Spielberg&rsquo;s politically charged remake of &ldquo;West Side Story,&rdquo; which got critical plaudits but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/12\/26\/west-side-story-is-officially-a-box-office-bomb.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flopped<\/a> so hard at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/9-box-office-duds-that-became-cult-classics\/\" title=\"9 Box Office Duds That Became Cult Classics\">box office<\/a> that Spielberg might as well have spent that time filming a woke redo of &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/ishtar-subversive-good-social-commentary-reasons-why\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ishtar<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>However, Zegler is probably best known for her role in a movie that hasn&rsquo;t come out yet &mdash; another classic reimagined as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/disney-gets-hit-hurts-100th-birthday-daily-wire-announces-competitor-woke-snow-white-remake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">modern sociopolitical allegory<\/a>, this time &ldquo;Snow White.&rdquo; And,&nbsp;<em>quelle surprise<\/em>, the fact that she&rsquo;s best known for a movie that hasn&rsquo;t even debuted yet isn&rsquo;t a good sign.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/star-upcoming-snow-white-movie-creates-headache-disney-stabs-co-star-back-free-palestine-declaration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zegler prompted<\/a> &ldquo;crisis talks&rdquo; within Disney last year after she said, regarding the upcoming 2025 film, that it&rsquo;s &ldquo;really not about the love story at all&rdquo; and that Prince Charming was actually a &ldquo;stalker.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s no longer 1937 &hellip; and she&rsquo;s not going to be saved by the prince and she&rsquo;s not going to be dreaming about true love,&rdquo; she said in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>That controversy almost kinda sort of not really went away when the trailer came out, and this was Zegler&rsquo;s reaction:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">and always remember, free palestine.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; rachel zegler (she\/her\/hers) (@rachelzegler) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rachelzegler\/status\/1823146134769893534?\">August 12, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Will Snow White be trading the ribbon in her hair <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/star-upcoming-snow-white-movie-creates-headache-disney-stabs-co-star-back-free-palestine-declaration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for a keffiyeh<\/a>?

That she managed to make news for her subsequent rant on social media is therefore a testimony to just how unhinged it was.<\/p>\n<p>In an Instagram story posted Wednesday to her official account, Zegler had one wish: &ldquo;May trump supporters and trump voters and trump himself never know peace.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;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,&rdquo; Zegler wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There is also a deep, deep sickness in this country that is shown in the sheer number of people who showed up for this man who threatens our democracy,&rdquo; she continued. &ldquo;it is terrifying the number of people who stand behind what this man preaches. it is a foolish subscription to a false sense of security, of masculinity, of intelligence, of patriotism, and of humanity. there is no help, no counsel, in any of them. i could go on. i won&rsquo;t. i feel sad. you probably do, too. f*** this.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>She also urged people to leave the social media platform X because Elon Musk owns it and supported Trump: &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t use that app for a reason. he helped get that man elected and you&rsquo;re giving him business,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<p>And just in case you didn&rsquo;t get the message, this was the coda: &ldquo;f*** donald trump.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>WARNING: The following post contains graphic language that some readers will find offensive.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Rachel Zegler hopes Trump supporters never know peace, tells her followers to get off X because Elon Musk supported Trump, and ends with- &ldquo;Fuck Donald Trump.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>THIS is Disney&rsquo;s Snow White.

Hyperbolic, perhaps, but nothing on the scale that Zegler has managed to pull off on at least three occasions now.<\/p>\n<p>Zegler probably isn&rsquo;t going to be fired, because Disney has sunk a not-inconsiderable amount of resources into this thing already and even Ezra Miller &mdash; a nonbinary-identifying actor accused and charged with a slew of offenses including burglary, harassment and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/family-12-year-old-boy-granted-protection-order-hollywood-star-accused-grooming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grooming<\/a> &mdash; was allowed to keep his starring role in the exorbitantly over-budget adaptation of &ldquo;The Flash.&rdquo; (Granted, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dcs-woke-disaster-disgraced-non-binary-star-couldnt-even-saved-batman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">that bombed<\/a>, too.)<\/p>\n<p>However, Zegler did do something unusual for an actress who went on an anti-Trump rant &mdash; she did what one social media pundit noted was &ldquo;damage control,&rdquo; at the very least:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Rachel Zegler has apologized for lashing out at Trump supporters!

Keep in mind that the $209 million film has already been the subject of numerous delays, many of them relating to the poorly received depiction of the seven dwarves, who were now conspicuously &ldquo;inclusive&rdquo; &mdash; part of that inclusivity meaning that many of them weren&rsquo;t even dwarves.

This could be seen as &#8220;damage control,&#8221; especially since the company has realized that alienating a large portion of the American audience isn&#8217;t beneficial for box office success, unless you&#8217;re someone like Michael Moore or Matt Walsh. Rachel Zegler, known for her role in Steven Spielberg&#8217;s remake of &#8220;West Side Story,&#8221; which received critical acclaim but performed poorly at the box office, is now facing scrutiny due to her comments about the upcoming &#8220;Snow White&#8221; film. She sparked controversy by stating that the story isn&#8217;t focused on romance and described Prince Charming as a &#8220;stalker.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In an interview, she remarked that it&#8217;s no longer 1937 and that Snow White won&#8217;t be saved by a prince or dreaming of true love. Following this, Zegler expressed her discontent with election results on social media, wishing ill upon Trump supporters and criticizing their support for what she perceives as threats to democracy. Her remarks drew backlash from various commentators who suggested she should face consequences similar to those experienced by other Disney actors in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this uproar, it seems unlikely Zegler will lose her role given Disney&#8217;s investment in the project.
