Rachel Zegler, the lead in Disney’s upcoming Snow White remake, has stirred up a significant debate with her recent “Free Palestine” declaration. The statement, made during the film’s promotion, has gained widespread attention, especially given her co-star Gal Gadot’s Israeli background and past IDF service.
Zegler’s tweet, posted while she was rehearsing for her Broadway role in Romeo and Juliet, quickly went viral, amassing over 7 million views and sparking diverse reactions across social media platforms.
While many have voiced support for Zegler’s stance, others have criticized her, questioning the timing and potential impact on her working relationship with Gadot.
The situation highlights the complex intersection of entertainment and political expression. Some have praised Zegler for using her platform to voice her beliefs, while others have called for Disney to reconsider her casting.
