00:00This is why people dislike Rachel Zegler so much.
00:02The initial spark? Her casting as Snow White.
00:05A role traditionally associated with skin as white as snow,
00:08Rachel, a Latina actress, immediately faced criticism.
00:11Detractors argued that this casting choice deviated significantly
00:15from the character's established portrayal,
00:17igniting debates about representation and fidelity to classic stories.
00:21But the drama didn't stop there.
00:22Rachel's comments about the original Snow White film added fuel to the fire.
00:26She described the 1937 animated classic as dated.
00:30You know, the original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so.
00:34Criticizing its portrayal of women in the prince's actions,
00:37which she described as stalking.
00:39These remarks were perceived by many as a direct attack on a beloved Disney legacy,
00:44sparking outrage among fans and critics alike.
00:46Beyond her comments on the film,
00:48Rachel Zegler's outspokenness also played a significant role in the unfolding drama.
00:53Her social media activity,
00:54including posts related to Free Palestine and criticisms of political figures,
00:58reportedly created rifts within the film's production
01:01and alienated portions of the potential audience.
01:04One particularly concerning offshoot of these social media posts
01:07was the reported surge in people teaming up against her co-star, Gal Gadot.
01:11This escalation of online drama and gossip forced Disney to enhance security measures,
01:16a move that highlighted the severity of the situation
01:18and the heightened emotions surrounding Rachel's public persona.
01:21Adding to the complexity of the narrative was the emergence of comments from Jonah Platt,
01:26son of producer Mark Platt.
01:27His now-deleted statements accused Rachel of harming the film's financial prospects by
01:32injecting personal politics into its marketing.
01:34These remarks, though brief,
01:36amplified the growing perception of internal friction within the production.
01:39Underlying all the drama was the fact that people believed
01:42Rachel Zegler was played by someone of the wrong race.
01:45Rachel faced relentless gossip and online critique,
01:47with many observers pointing to her Latina heritage
01:50as a key factor in the intensity of the drama.
01:52This layer added a dark undercurrent to the unfolding narrative,
01:55raising uncomfortable questions about representation in Hollywood.
01:58As the drama intensified,
02:00Disney's response became a focal point.
02:02The studio's strategic shift,
02:04marked by a reduction in marketing efforts
02:06and limited press access at the film's premiere,
02:08was interpreted by many as an attempt to mitigate further damage.
02:12This perceived damage control only intensified speculation
02:15about the film's troubled production.
02:17Ultimately, Snow White's box office performance
02:20became the ultimate metric of public sentiment.
02:22The film's poor reception and significant financial losses
02:25were widely attributed to the string of drama
02:27surrounding Rachel Zegler and the production.
02:30Industry insiders and analysts debated the extent to which
02:33Rachel's public statements contributed to the film's failure,
02:36with many pointing to a growing disconnect
02:38between her public persona and the film's target audience.
02:41Rachel Zegler's journey, once bright with promise,
02:44became a case study in the complexities of fame,
02:47social media, and the delicate balance
02:49between artistic expression and public perception.
02:52The story serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences
02:56when celebrity, politics, and iconic cultural properties collide.
02:59Whether she can recover her once bright reputation,
03:02or if this will be a defining chapter in her career,
03:04remains to be seen.
03:06But the controversy has cemented her place
03:08in one of Hollywood's most contentious recent stories.
03:10To be honest, I really feel bad for Rachel Zegler.
03:13Yes, she was annoying at first,
03:15but does someone really deserve this much hate?
03:17It's like too much at this point.
03:19She's so young.
03:20We've all done and said things we regret being her age.
03:23It's kind of like her career ended before it even started,
03:26and she's beautiful.
03:27People are constantly putting her down now for her looks.
03:29It's so much, and it's a lot for one person to handle.
03:32It got to the point where at first, yeah,
03:33I thought she was a bit much, too woke,
03:35but now I'm like enough already.
03:37She doesn't deserve to be put down for the way she looks,
03:39especially since it's not true.
03:41She's a gorgeous girl.
03:42And at her age, she might grow out of her wokeness.
03:45You never know.
03:45She definitely needs some PR training,
03:47but she didn't do anything too bad
03:48to deserve what she's getting now.
03:50I hope things get better for her again.
