‘Snow White’s Rachel Zegler is under fire for election comments.
Zegler’s now-deleted Instagram story said she was scared to think about another four years of Trump’s America. Her post read, “I find myself speechless in the midst of this. Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in.”
The actress continued, “Leaning us towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in. Leaning us towards a world that will force her to have a baby she doesn’t want. Leaning us towards a world that is fearful.”
“I shouldn’t be this shocked. but I am. I am heartbroken for my friends who awoke [in] fear this morning. and I am here with you. To cry, to yell, to hug. To wax poetic on how the left continues to fail us in forging a new path forward. This loss should not have been. And it certainly should not have been by so many votes,” Zegler also shared.
She concluded, “I echo Ethel Cain’s statement more than anything. May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.”
The actress faced backlash on social media for criticizing Trump and his supporters. As Trump named controversial figures like Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard, and RFK Jr. to his new administration, the criticism grew stronger, especially after Megyn Kelly and others discussed it on the Ruthless podcast on Thursday.
Kelly thought it was hypocritical that Disney still supports Zegler after how they treated former ‘Mandalorian’ star Gina Carano. She said, “Hello, Disney, you’re going to have to redo your film again, because this woman is a pig, and you fired Gina Carano for far less than this nonsense. I’m sorry, Disney, she has to go right now.”
Gina Carano was fired from Disney’s ‘The Mandalorian’ in 2021 after she compared how Jews were treated in Nazi Germany to how conservatives are treated in today’s America. Carano is suing Disney for sex discrimination. The trial is set for September 2025. She now works with the conservative Daily Wire and denies Disney’s claim that she trivialized the Holocaust.
Later, Zegler went on Instagram to apologize as the conservative media storm grew.
