Part 4/10:
The controversy escalated when fans unearthed older videos and statements from Zegler, revealing her negative opinions about her role and even her mental health struggles. A two-minute video, widely circulated, purportedly shows her responding to the backlash, crying and lamenting the pressures of fame. However, this clip originated from over a year ago—well before the current controversy—and unrelated to the recent Snow White backlash.
Despite this clarification, malicious actors and critics have misrepresented her comments, further inflaming tensions. Critics argue that her recent public statements come across as unprofessional and insincere, especially considering her previous comments about the original film and her apparent contempt for traditional Disney storytelling.
