Rachel Zegler took to Instagram to apologize for her heated reaction last week to the re-election of Donald Trump.
Disney's upcoming Snow White star received blowback following her original post, where she declared, "May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace," and "there is a deep deep sickness in this country," and, "another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in."
On Thursday night, the 23-year-old actress posted a new message: "Hi everyone, I would like to sincerely apologize for the election post I shared on Instagram last week. I let me emotions get the best of me. Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse. This week has been emotion for so many of us, but I firmly believe that everyone has the right to their opinion, even when it differs from my own. I am committed to contributing positively towards a better tomorrow."
Zegler's original comment blew up on X, where MAGA supporters slammed the West Side Story star and vowed to not watch her live-action $200 million Snow White remake, which Disney is releasing in theaters March 25.
Megyn Kelly, setting a fine example on civil discourse, called Zegler a "pig" for her comments, and scolded Disney: "You're gonna have to redo your film again, because this woman is a pig, and you fired Gina Carano for far less than this nonsense."

You and your seven dwarves can go piss up a rope you little skunk.
My commentary aside, she is only apologizing because the studio told her to.
...”another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in.”
All the hatred is directed AT Trump, not coming from him. If you don’t want to live in a Trump world, there’s an easy solution. Kill yourself.
In other words: “Please watch my movie! I need the income! I don’t want Disney to fire me!”
” there’s an easy solution. Kill yourself.”
Just consider it a late, late-term abortion.
if they dont fire rachel
doesnt that help Gina’s case?
thank you rachel
@#$@# her.
She made the bed.
Apologies not accepted. A true apologies should be accompanied by an act of contrition…
Holy crap the tides are turning. Conservative celebs have been having to apologize for every little thing they say for years.
What a Skank.
Gina Carano had nothing to apologize for.
Disney can kiss millions away because this twit opened her mouth. No doubt Disney told her to issue this apology and I doubt that she feels any differently other than her career is likely going to take a hit. It a pure CYA move.
I respect Rachel’s right to hold and express an opinion. I hope Rachel understands our right to spend our money where we see fit.
Sounds like a solution to her situation would be easy to find.
Regards,
I would have liked to have heard the conversation between Rachel and the Disney execs:
“You stupid bitch, you just cost us $200 million! We hate them too, but you can’t say that out loud anymore!”
She’s 23. I know she prolly makes millions. Probably had a pr guy craft her apology. But I accept it. She’s 23. Do better next time young lady.
Hahaha. Go broke Disney. Keep hiring these woke loudmouths. I just love watching these big corporations self immolate at the altar of woke..
At least this isn’t “I apologize if I offended anyone” apologies.
Is this the new “black” Snow White?
“ In other words: “Please watch my movie! I need the income! I don’t want Disney to fire me!””
I bet that the pigs agent got a call from Disney executives suggesting the pig apologize or production is going to stop.
