Part 4/8:
The controversy surrounding Snow White doesn't solely stem from its low ratings but significantly involves Zegler herself. Reports indicate that Disney anticipates considerable financial losses from the film, drawing attention to Zegler’s social media statements that have tangentially affected its promotion. Zegler faced backlash after she criticized the original 1937 Snow White film, declaring the prince was a “stalker.” Such remarks do little to endear her to audiences nostalgic for the classic.
Additionally, reactions intensified when Zegler interspersed her promotion of Snow White with a political statement supporting Palestine. The backlash escalated to the point where Zegler's co-star Gal Gadot received death threats, prompting Disney to bolster her security.
