Hollywood is buzzing with drama as reports emerge that Rachel Zegler has been quietly dropped from future major studio projects following the box office disaster of Disney’s live-action Snow White. And now, the actress is reportedly furious — and she’s not staying silent.
After months of backlash surrounding the film — from casting controversies to politically charged interviews — Snow White has reportedly underperformed in test screenings and faced massive delays. Now, insiders claim Disney is cutting ties with Zegler amid fears the film could flop harder than expected upon release.
In a now-deleted tweet, Zegler appeared to respond to the rumors with a thinly veiled clapback:
“Funny how people love to watch you fall when they never wanted you to rise in the first place.”
Fans quickly took this as a direct shot at the critics and the industry’s harsh response. While some stood by her, many others weren’t so sympathetic, reigniting debates online about whether Zegler’s outspoken nature contributed to the film’s negative press.
One industry source told The Hollywood Reporter:
“Studios are being cautious. After the backlash and poor reception, they’re reconsidering future projects with her. It’s not personal — it’s business.”
Rachel Zegler, who rose to fame with West Side Story, had been positioned as one of Hollywood’s rising stars. But with the Snow White remake now overshadowed by controversy and delays, her once-bright path in the industry may be facing a serious detour.
As of now, neither Disney nor Zegler’s team have released official statements — but one thing’s clear: this fairytale isn’t getting a happy ending any time soon.
