Rachel Zegler, the actress set to star as Snow White in Disney's upcoming live-action remake, has faced significant backlash after making profane anti-Trump comments on social media. Following President-elect Donald Trump's re-election, Zegler posted on Instagram expressing, "F*** Donald Trump" and wishing that his supporters "never know peace," describing them as "irredeemable" and indicative of a "deep sickness" in the country. Conservative commentators, including Megyn Kelly, who referred to Zegler as "a pig," criticized her remarks, and there have been calls for Disney to fire her, noting that the company previously dismissed Gina Carano for less severe comments. Some have labeled Zegler as "toxicity incarnate." Zegler has since issued an apology, stating, "I let my emotions get the best of me" and affirming her commitment to contributing positively toward a better tomorrow.
