Rachel Zegler Blasted by Megyn Kelly, Conservatives Over Anti-Trump Complaint

“F*ck Donald Trump” may not be the message the Walt Disney Company wants Snow White start putting it out there right now.

But that’s what they have, even if Rachel Zegler tries to go back.

In now-deleted Instagram posts, Zegler criticized the former and future president for his Nov. 5 election victory over Kamala Harris as “a profound disease in this country.” Steven Spielberg’s alum West Side Story, which is currently on Broadway in Romeo + Juliet, went on to lament “the large number of people who showed up for this man who threatens our democracy.”

“It’s frightening the number of people who stand behind what this man preaches,” Zegler added in what appears to be remarks made during a performance of the Shakespeare play in New York late last week. “It’s a foolish subscription to a false sense of security, masculinity, intelligence, patriotism and humanity. there’s no help, no advice in any of it. I could go on. I won’t. I feel sad. It you probably do too F*k this”

“May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace,” Zegler also wrote on the Meta-owned platform, paraphrasing singer Ethel Cain’s comments in the immediate aftermath of Trump’s re-election victory. “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.”

With Snow White out next spring and Netflix’s animated film Enchanted out next week, the 23-year-old Zegler (who doesn’t have a daughter) quickly found herself getting some very hard flak in the social media world for her condemnation of Trump and his MAGA base.

As Trump continued to name controversial nominees such as ex-Representatives Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) and RFK Jr. to his 2.0 administration, that backlash was followed by a full-on hurricane Thursday from Megyn Kelly and her friends on the Ruthless podcast.

“There’s something wrong with this person,” Kelly said bluntly of Zegler today.

“Hey Disney, you’re going to have to redo your movie because this woman is a pig and you fired Gina Carano for far less than this nonsense,” former Fox News anchor Kelly slammed the ruthless hosts and her podcast audience today over the already controversial live-action Snow White. “I’m sorry Disney, she has to go now.”

Carano is currently headed for a September 2025 lawsuit against Disney in her Elon Musk-backed gender discrimination suit to be canned in 2021 from The Mandalorian for her own social media posts.

Now working on projects with the hard conservatives Daily managementthe former marital arts fighter denies Disney’s claim that she decided to “publicly trivialize the Holocaust by comparing criticism of political conservatives to the annihilation of millions of Jews” In fact, Carano says she was targeted for her more contradictory POV to the usual Hollywood progressivity, while Star Wars franchise co-stars like Mark Hamill and Pedro Pascal were allowed to blast Trump throughout his first term without recrimination.

After reinventing herself for the last few years, due to becoming a ceilometer for the right wing, Kelly today continued to hit the Mouse House harder as she dished out the red meat to her followers.

“They’re dealing with the controversy with ABC, with one of their biggest stars, Michael Strahan, who refused to put his hand over his heart for the anthem and the backlash just for that,” added short-lived NBC host Kelly. Reckless co-host Michael Duncan stated beforehand “it comes at a time when Disney stock continues to fall.” (Disney stock is actually up nearly 10% today after a strong Q4 earnings report)

“You’re going to release a Disney movie with snow white, a beloved American character, with a woman hated by more than half the country, the half that just elected Donald Trump?” Kelly told his SiriusXM listeners. “This is an incredible turning point right now.”

“We’ll see which way the woke Disney decides to go,” Kelly concluded in terms very similar to what Florida Governor Ron DeSantis used the past few years in the now-abandoned political and legal disputes with one of the Sunshine State’s largest employers.

Zegler took to IG this afternoon as the conservative media firestorm swirled to apologize.

To that, having weathered an earlier storm with Zegler over comments about the premise of a modern Snow WhiteDisney is silent right now.

In a city where deep-seated Democratic donors and studio bosses are trying to gauge the cultural temperature right now as Trump’s second inauguration approaches, what Disney does or doesn’t say about Zegler’s comments could become the standard in Hollywood for the next four years.

It’s early days, but it’s hot because of the earnings report Thursday, the Bob Iger-run company has no plans to push back the Gal Gadot co-star, and Greta Gerwig co-wrote Snow White from the premiere on March 21, 2025, Deadline has learned.

This post will be updated if Disney responds to Deadline’s request for comment.
