Watch actress Rachel Zegler REPEATEDLY contradict herself on ‘Snow White’ adaptation



“Rachel Zegler is someone who in her relatively short career has managed to stir up a surprising amount of controversy,” says Lauren Chen.

Much of Zegler’s pot-stirring has to do with her playing Snow White in Disney’s upcoming live-action adaption of the classic film.

You’d think someone playing Disney’s very first princess would be more appreciative of the film that gave her the opportunity to star in such a beloved role, but no.

When Variety initially interviewed Zegler about the remake, she took the opportunity to bash the original movie.

“It’s no longer 1937,” Zegler said. “She’s not going to be saved by the prince, and she’s not going to be dreaming about true love; she’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be.”

“There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird!” she continued.

In another interview, she said, “I was scared of the original cartoon. I think I watched it once and then I never picked it up again.”

The backlash for these remarks was instant and heated.

“Turns out disrespecting a movie while also simultaneously trying to capitalize on the existing fans of that movie is not really a winning marketing strategy,” says Lauren.

While the release of “Snow white” has been delayed due to financial concerns, many speculate that the postponing is actually due, at least in part, to the backlash from Zegler’s comments.

Further, it seems Zegler is using the hiatus to do some damage control, which only adds strength to the theory.

In a recent interview with Halle Bailey, who played Princess Ariel in “The Little Mermaid” remake, Zegler had a much different tune about the 1937 classic she previously bashed.

“The cartoon is so beloved; it's like a monumental moment in film history ... It won honorary Oscars and all of these amazing things that happened for that film are the reason that you and I really get to sit here today because it made Disney what it is,” Zegler told Bailey.

“There's just a very dedicated group of people who love Disney cartoons. I'm one of them ... I love everything that the Disney company has put out in the past ...100 years,” she continued.

Wait. We thought she said the movie was creepy and scary and not worth revisiting? And that the love story was unnecessary?

“Kind of seems like a memo went out that perhaps the best way to promote a new ‘Snow White’ movie isn't by denigrating the original ‘Snow White’ movie,” sighs Lauren.

Check out how woke Snow White actress plans to 'correct' original film's offenses in upcoming remake



Disney might be running out of ideas for movies, but that doesn’t mean the company won’t keep making them.

One of its latest films is an upcoming live-action remake of “Snow White,” which is pretty plainly another disaster in the making.

The remake will star Rachel Zegler as Snow White. She has stressed that the cartoon is completely unacceptable by today’s standards and her version will correct the original’s “issues.”

“It’s extremely dated when it comes to the ideas of women being in roles of power and what a woman is fit for,” Zegler told cameras in a recent interview about the upcoming film.

Lauren Chen is fairly certain that with an attitude like that, this movie is going to be a “huge box office flop.”

Not only is her attitude surrounding the original poor, but Chen notes that Zegler playing Snow White is “essentially brownwashing a traditionally European character who is basically known for having fair skin.”

In addition, the beloved Seven Dwarves were written out of the script, “because apparently it’s considered politically incorrect to give little people acting jobs,” Chen adds.

While promoting her new film on the red carpet, Zegler also told reporters that the original story featured a man who “literally stalks” Snow White, so they “didn’t do that this time.”

While there is no “stalker” in the film, there is a man who plays her love interest. However, according to the actress, it’s still not a love story.

“I think everyone’s going to have their assumptions about what it’s actually going to be, but it’s really not about the love story at all, which is really, really wonderful,” Zegler said.

Basically, the film won’t resemble the original at all.

“Even if you are a huge Snow White fan out there and you’re willing to overlook all of these other things, you’re still probably not going to like this movie because they are essentially stripping it of anything that would have made it quintessentially Snow White,” Chen comments.
