Rachel Zegler Says Infamous Woke ‘Snow White’ Comments Were Misinterpreted After Massive Reshoots Try to Salvage Disney Film
Breitbart ^ | October 03, 2024 | David Ng

When actress Rachel Zegler gives an interview, Disney executives get nervous. The Snow White star has caused no small amount of PR damage from speaking off the cuff, and her latest interview with Variety features its fair share of zingers.

Rachel Zegler casts herself as the victim of sexism in the backlash to her Snow White comments, claiming people deliberately misinterpreted what she said in order to see a woman being torn down. Later, she doubles down on her “free Palestine” activism — a phrase that has been adopted by anti-Israel activists demanding the elimination of the Jewish state.

She also drops a few f-bombs — not exactly behavior becoming of a Disney princess.

Zegler ignited an enormous backlash from Disney fans last year over comments in which she insulted the original 1937 animated film. Old videos resurfaced showing the actress pompously trashing the Disney classic, claiming that the Prince character is a creepy stalker and that women no longer crave romance.

Her snarky attitude created a PR nightmare for Disney’s live-action remake, in which she plays the title role. The release was pushed back by a full year to 2025 amid the PR blowback, as well as reports of extensive reshoots.

In an interview this week with Variety, Zegler cast herself as a victim of sexism, saying she wasn’t surprised by what she called people’s willful misunderstanding of her comments.

“I’ve watched women get torn down my whole life, my whole career,” she said. “We’ll watch it in the election that’s upcoming. We’re gonna witness that for a long time, I fear. Sometimes it can feel like we’re going back; it certainly felt that way when that was happening.”

Between this ditz and Peter Dinklage dunking on Disney for initially casting dwarfs for the remake this has been a dumpster fire. I couldn’t be happier that this is happening to a more woke company. With cost overruns and marketing costs I suspect this thing needs to make 400 million to even start making a profit. HAHAHAHA!! good luck.

"...We had a dog one time that one night he dug a hole in the front yard 4 feet deep and 2 feet wide. I have no idea what he was digging for..."

For a dog, digging the hole is the journey, FRiend...:)

It's The Journey. Not what they find!

Feminazi Zegler is set to star in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, opening on Broadway October 24.

Its not clear which part she will play.

Although Zegler demanded the Count Paris character be eliminated. He is described as handsome,
very wealthy and wants Juliet as his wife and mother of his children........roles anathema to feminazis.

Woke Snow White is set to open March 2025, after previously being slated for the year before.

The live-action remake was plagued by reports of reshoots after a naive Disney sap-happily released on-set photos which they later said were” unauthorized” as a CYA ploy).

On-set photos provided the first look of the “seven dwarves” — who resembled multiracial hipsters who were almost all normal size b/c the woke Disney studio naifs pledged to “avoid reinforcing stereotypes” about midgets.

Disney has come full circle. Snow White was the first fully animated feature. It launched Disney into the business it became. The film techniques were revolutionary. Made it look 3D.

Now this generation is killing it.

You tell'em sister. The patriarchy is always trying to tear down a strong woman.

They don’t but their shareholders are finally starting to get pissed. The company will be broken up and spunoff or sold. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Marvel are all but worthless now. Marvel still has some IP value but the other two are worthless.

“…claiming that the Prince character is a creepy stalker and that women no longer crave romance.“

I would honestly be surprised of it turned out that she wasn’t gay.

From the outset it was never going to work: a German tale featuring a noisily Hispanic lead, the Seven Dwarfs turning first into seven "magical creatures" resembling a methadone support group, then when that was hooted off the test screen, "reimagined" into a gang employed by a fellow who didn't appear either in the fairy tale or the movie, then reimagined once more as a ghastly collection of CGI goblins in a supposedly "live action remake"; no Prince, no romance, and nothing but a grim feminist drive for untrammeled power as a principle theme. Now there's one to take the kiddies to!

This wasn't a movie, it was an assassination attempt. Zegler herself has proven a toxic, arrogant spoiled brat with no regard for a classic, her fellow cast members, her audience, or anything but herself squealing "That's Hollywood, baybeee..." It won't kill Woke by itself but it just might be a mortal wound. We can hope.
