Part 4/9:
When Ziegler initially saw the parody, the reports claimed she reacted poorly—furious and anxious, she attempted to rally her team to contact Disney, Fox, and the producers to request that the episode be pulled or edited. However, her pleas fell on deaf ears, and Fox stood firm, suggesting that they would not intervene with the airing of satire that resonated with the public.
Ziegler's silence in the aftermath only fueled speculation. People began questioning the reasons behind her lack of response: Was she gagged by Disney? Did she truly not know how to address the situation? This only intensified the scrutiny on her character and narrative, leading to even more speculation about her future in Hollywood.
