MAGA Calls on Disney to Fire ‘Snow White’ Star Rachel Zegler After Trump Post

Snow White Actress Rachel Zegler is facing backlash after she posted her feelings about Donald Trump and his supporters on Instagram last week following his election victory.

The comments have prompted some Disney fans to vow a boycott of the film’s March 2025 release.

Zegler, 23, took to her Instagram Stories to write a lengthy statement about her disapproval of Trump’s victory. “I find myself speechless in the middle of this,” she wrote, according to one user of social media who took screenshots of the post before it was deleted.

“Four more years of hate leaning towards a world I don’t want to live in. Leaning towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in. Leaning towards a world that will force her to have a baby she doesn’t want leans us toward a world that’s terrifying.”

Zegler went on to write that she was “shocked” and “devastated” by the election results and agreed singer Ethel Cain’s statement on Trump’s voters: “I hope peace never finds you.”

The backlash from Trump’s supporters when the comments made the rounds on X was swift. One of Zegler’s many statements acknowledged this when she cited Instagram comments warning her, “They eat you up on Twitter.”

That’s when the Disney movie star took aim at Elon Musk, telling his Instagram followers: “Get off Elon’s app” as “He helped that man get elected and you’re giving him business.”

She went on to criticize the country for having a “deep, deep sickness” for voting for a “man who threatens our democracy,” before signing off her string of messages with “F— Donald Trump.”

Comments calling Zegler “unhinged and a liability” were quickly uploaded, with one user suggesting that Disney should “permanently shelve Snow White and distance yourself from her.” Others vowed that they will not “take (their) children to see this garbage after the statement you have issued.”

Zegler’s casting in Disney’s live action Snow White remake has been a magnet for controversy since the company cast Latina actress in 2021 to play the historically white cartoon character, a move that was also met with backlash for Disney.

Further criticism emerged, particularly from those on the right Zegler’s comments to Black that her version of Snow White would be strengthened in contrast to the animated original, where the character falls in love “with a guy who literally stalks her.”

Last summer there was “anti-woke” hoplah over leaked set photos that showed that Snow White’s dwarves were not all white and not all dwarves.
