Celebrities are rallying behind 'Snow White' actor Rachel Zegler amid backlash over the movie. Here's what to know.

Actors and musicians are defending Rachel Zegler after she was blamed for the "Snow White" remake flopping.Some critics blamed Zegler's political comments for the film grossing lower than expectations.

Rachel Zegler, cast as Snow White in Disney's upcoming live-action remake, has faced significant backlash and online harassment following her comments about the original 1937 film and her vision for the character. Zegler expressed that the new film would focus less on the traditional damsel-in-distress narrative, instead portraying Snow White as someone who aspires to leadership rather than waiting for a prince's rescue. This shift in character portrayal, along with her critique of the original's romantic elements, has stirred controversy among fans of the classic tale. In response, several celebrities have come to Zegler's defense, condemning the harassment and supporting her right to reimagine the character. The situation has sparked a broader conversation about the evolution of fairy tales, representation, and the expectations placed on modern adaptations of beloved stories.
