(ProsperNews.net) – Rachel Zegler, Disney’s live-action Snow White actress, has stirred controversy with her sharp criticism of voters who supported President-elect Donald Trump and her calls for users to abandon the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). In a series of Instagram Stories, the 23-year-old actress expressed dismay over Vice President Kamala Harris’s defeat in the 2024 presidential election.
“I shouldn’t be this shocked, but I am,” Zegler wrote, sharing her heartbreak over the election outcome. She criticized the margin of Trump’s victory, adding, “This loss should not have been by so many votes.” Her tone turned more severe as she targeted Trump supporters, declaring, “May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.”
Zegler accused Trump voters of subscribing to a “false sense of security, of masculinity, of intelligence, of patriotism, and of humanity,” which she described as “absolutely terrifying.” She also criticized X owner Elon Musk, blaming his leadership of the platform for contributing to Trump’s victory. She encouraged her followers to boycott X, stating that it was “giving him business.”
In a final post, Zegler explicitly condemned Trump and redirected focus to local leadership, urging followers to prioritize Democratic governors. “F**k Donald Trump,” she concluded.
This isn’t Zegler’s first public controversy. She previously faced backlash for comments about the original 1937 Snow White animated film, calling the prince a “stalker” and describing the love story as “weird.” These remarks sparked debates about Disney’s approach to reimagining its classics. Later, in an interview with Variety, Zegler appeared to temper her stance, describing the 1937 film as “a monumental moment in film history” and acknowledging its critical role in shaping Disney’s legacy.
Zegler’s political activism has intensified scrutiny of her upcoming role as Snow White, polarizing audiences. Critics argue that her outspokenness distracts from her suitability as a lead in a beloved Disney adaptation. Meanwhile, competing projects like Bentkey’s Snow White and the Evil Queen, starring YouTube personality Brett Cooper, have emerged as alternatives for audiences seeking different interpretations of the classic tale. Zegler’s remarks continue to ignite debates about how political opinions intersect with Hollywood and public perceptions.
