Rumors are swirling that Rachel Zegler may be suing Disney due to the ongoing Snow White controversy. Reportedly, she has been dropped from multiple projects, with several studios allegedly cutting ties with her following the backlash. Now, Zegler and her team are reportedly exploring legal options against Disney and other major studios.
Did Rachel Zegler sue Disney over Snow White controversy?
Reports suggest that Rachel Zegler is considering suing Disney after allegedly being blacklisted by multiple Hollywood studios. Following the backlash surrounding Snow White, many studios reportedly dropped her from projects. Disney allegedly removed her from several productions, including the planned Pirates of the Caribbean reboot. In response, Zegler and her team are said to be preparing legal action against Disney, Sony, Paramount, and Lionsgate for allegedly terminating her contracts without justification. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding these claims.
This development follows public criticism from Jonah Platt, son of Snow White producer Marc Platt. He blamed Zegler for damaging the film’s box office performance. In a now-deleted Instagram comment, Jonah claimed his father had to travel to New York in 2023 to personally address Zegler’s social media post. He accused the actress of bringing personal politics into the film’s promotion, which led to controversy that overshadowed the movie. He also argued that her actions harmed the livelihoods of many who worked on the film.
Jonah Platt further stated, “Free speech does not mean you’re allowed to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions.” He emphasized that thousands of people worked on Snow White, and Zegler’s actions allegedly jeopardized their efforts. (via Fortune)
