Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver defend Rachel Zegler over Snow White row - Pop singer Allen said she didn’t believe the controversy surrounding Zegler could be blamed for the film’s box office woes

As Disney’s "Snow White" continues to bomb at the box office, Rachel Zegler is moving on to her next acting job. Will it be in another film or something else?

This is a culmination of years of racist backlash. Like Halle Bailey before her, when Rachel was first cast in the role in June of 2021, she received a lot of criticism from people who took issue with a Disney princess being played by a woman of color.

Along with the “Free Palestine” remark, Zegler caused controversy by trashing the original “Snow White” movie before the remake’s release. She called the Prince character “a stalker” and promised that her film would be more “modern” than the “dated” animated classic.

Disney's Snow White pushes Rachel Zegler past a career box office milestone, as the remake becomes her second-highest-grossing movie amid controversy.

Disney 's live-action remake of Snow White has sparked controversy, largely due to comments made by its lead actress, Rachel Zegler. While her portrayal of the iconic character seeks to offer a modern take, departing significantly from the 1937 animated classic, her remarks about the film have ignited debate.

The newly released live-action Snow White movie has been one of Disney’s most controversial films and not just because punters are sick of the constant reimaginings of our childhood faves. It all started last year with a tweet by lead star Rachel Zegler in support of Palestine.

First came right-wingers upset that Rachel Zegler, cast as Snow White, is not, in fact, white. They liked her even less when they found out she supports Palestine. Then the studio cast Gal Godot as the Evil Queen, and Peter Dinklage had something to say about the dwarves. And then things got weird.
