Part 4/7:
The backlash against Zegler has intensified over the past year, particularly due to her comments about Disney fans and the original Snow White film. Initially perceived as standing up against "toxic Disney fans," her past statements—including suggesting fans who supported Donald Trump should skip her film—have clouded her ability to garner goodwill.
In a shift that many observers perceive as damage control, Zegler recently stated that she interprets the backlash as a reflection of people’s passion for the beloved original character. This abrupt pivot raises eyebrows, as it starkly contrasts her earlier remarks. Many see it as an insincere attempt to quell the mounting criticism and to align more closely with Disney’s image.
