"My F***ing Psychiatrist Has Seen Me Through It": Rachel Zegler Breaks Silence On SNOW WHITE Flopping

Shazam! Fury of the Gods star Rachel Zegler has broken her silence on being blamed for Snow White's failings, and the impact online vitriol has had on her since playing the iconic Disney Princess...

Snow White made headlines for all the wrong reasons in the months leading up to its release. Ultimately, the movie opened to mostly negative reviews (39% on Rotten Tomatoes) and grossed only $205.6 million at the worldwide box office.

Lead star Rachel Zegler came under fire from the moment she was cast, largely because the Colombian-American actor didn't have skin as "white as snow." However, more controversy followed when she made what many felt were derogatory remarks about the animated 1937 classic, while her decision to write "free Palestine" alongside an X post with the remake's trailer also caused a stir. 

Things intensified after last year's U.S. elections when she declared, "F*** Donald Trump" on Instagram, and when i-D (via Toonado.com) asked Zegler about the perception that exists of her online, she replied, "It's interesting. It's really alarming at times."

"My compassion has no boundaries, is really what it is," she continued, "and my support for one cause does not denounce any others. That's always been at the core of who I am as a person. It's the way I was raised."

"There are obviously things that are at stake by being outspoken, but nothing is worth innocent lives," Zegler noted. "My heart doesn't have a fence around it, and if that is considered my downfall? There are worse things."

With Snow White's failings blamed on Zegler by some (which ignores the terrible creative decisions made from the start), the Shazam! Fury of the Gods star admits that it's been hard to deal with both the online hate and seeing a dream role quickly turn into a nightmare.

"My f***ing psychiatrist has seen me through all of it," she shared. "'What you're going through isn’t normal.' That sentence did such wonders for me in multiple situations in my life."

Zegler added that she's been medicated for anxiety as a result of her Snow White experience, "which was truly a game changer, because I just wasn't functioning. And I wanted to function in a way that made me feel confident in the way I was moving through the world."

Despite it all, Zegler doesn't wish to be seen as a victim. "I think a victim mindset is a choice, and I don't choose it," she stated. "I also don't choose nastiness in the face of it. I don't choose negativity in the face of it. I choose positivity and light and happiness. And I do believe at times, happiness is absolutely a choice, and every day I wake up and I think I'm very lucky to live the life I live."

Zegler has bounced back with Evita on London's West End, leaving Snow White behind her. Many actors have shaken off critical and box office flops with ease, and despite the social media storm, audiences and critics appeared to respond positively to her take on the Disney Princess.

Snow White is now streaming on Disney+.

I’ll bet her therapist made more off of those sessions than Disney did off of the movie.

Lol. CBM covering this movie as much as it has is embarrassing.

@regularmovieguy - You can tell it hurts Josh that the movie bombed.

It checked so many boxes for his political affiliation.
- Women heroine
- Minority Woman lead
- Does not insult dwarfs
- dismisses Toxic males
- Disney attempted critical armor
- and of course...pandering to Disney so he keeps getting his access

I haven’t seen the movie, the only buddy of mine I know who’d seen it has 3 daughters and when I asked how bad was it: he said he actually enjoyed it and his girls loved it.

I don’t doubt that it’s a bad movie. But the amount of people on this site complaining about a movie that absolutely doesn’t appeal to them, is kind of ridiculous.

TyrantBossMedia - 6/24/2025, 4:18 PM
@regularmovieguy - Funny because that's what everybody does on this site, complain about movies that don't appeal to them.

Also funny is how for some reason you are suddenly indignant about the complaints directed toward this particular film.

“Also funny is how for some reason you are suddenly indignant about the complaints directed toward this particular film.”

What do you mean? I literally have no opinion on the movie. Haven’t seen it, don’t care for Snow White, don’t care for live action remakes. I have no opinion or interest in the movie.

Did you watch it? What did you think of it?
TyrantBossMedia
TyrantBossMedia - 6/24/2025, 4:30 PM
@regularmovieguy - Yet you are defending it.
regularmovieguy
regularmovieguy - 6/24/2025, 4:41 PM
@TyrantBossMedia

Where have I defended it?

Wahhvacado - 6/24/2025, 5:39 PM
@regularmovieguy - Apparently having commentary on the shithole that is this comment section is defending it

@Lisa89 - Getting work and getting leads in major blockbuster projects - which was where her career was heading - are two very different things.

@Lisa89 - 100%. People hate her and she has no talent.
