Disney’s ‘Snow White’ actress criticized for ongoing criticism of original film in new viral video.
Disney’s New “Snow White” Actress Faces Backlash for Criticizing Original Film
Disney’s new “Snow White” actress, Rachel Zegler, has recently come under fire on social media for her comments about the original film. In a resurfaced video, Zegler claimed that the Prince in the original cartoon was a “stalker,” sparking controversy among fans.
Zegler, a 22-year-old actress, expressed her thoughts on the love story between Snow White and the Prince, stating, “There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird. So we didn’t do that this time.” She emphasized that the upcoming remake will have a different approach to the love story, focusing on other aspects of the narrative.
These comments prompted Daily Wire host Matt Walsh to criticize Disney’s marketing strategy, tweeting, “Disney is trying a really interesting marketing strategy where the star of the new ‘Snow White’ spends a year before the movie’s release publicly talking about how much she despises Snow White.”

Conservative radio host Dana Loesch also joined in the criticism, jokingly suggesting that the Prince Charming character was omitted because Snow White was too annoying to wake up from her slumber.
So it’s not actually the story of Snow White. They probably couldn’t have a Prince Charming in this one because Snow White is so annoying that he’d just let her continue napping. https://t.co/UQwGoIWnND

Brandon Morse, editor at Red State, simply stated, “Disney’s own actors are tearing down Disney’s legacy,” highlighting the discontent among various individuals, not just conservatives, with the portrayal of strong female leads in films.
One Twitter user expressed, “The fact that everyone is so unhappy with Rachel Zegler and Snow White shows how *EVERYONE* — not just conservatives — is done with the strong female lead trope. It’s overdone and the girls are tired of it.”

In another resurfaced video, Zegler faced backlash for stating that the remake would not include Snow White being saved by the prince or dreaming about true love. Instead, the focus would be on her journey to become a strong and fearless leader, as her late father had encouraged her to be.
