‘Snow White’ Actress Finally Apologizes For Vile Statement Aimed At President Trump’s Supporters

In the wake of President Donald Trump’s historic Election Day victory, a flurry of far-left celebrities began lashing out at the American people for daring to vote against the candidate Democrats rammed through the nomination process at the last minute.

One of the most alarming statements came from Rachel Zegler, a 23-year-old actress who unleashed on Trump and his millions of voters across the country.

Amid mounting criticism, however, Zegler issued an apology, as Fox News reported:

“I would like to sincerely apologize for the election post I shared on my Instagram last week,” she wrote. “I let my emotions get the best of me. Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse.”

She added it had been an emotional time and everyone had a right to their opinion, pledging to contribute “positively toward a better tomorrow.”

Zegler, who is playing Snow White in Disney’s reboot of the classic tale, posted a profane attack on Trump and his supporters on Instagram Stories after the election, expressing disgust with his victory over Kamala Harris and the country for voting him in.

“I find myself speechless in the midst of this. Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in,” Zegler wrote. “Leaning us towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in. Leaning us towards a world that will force her to have a baby she doesn’t want. Leaning us towards a world that is fearful.”

Her latest statement came after days of blistering backlash on social media:

Of course, this was not the first time Zegler’s public comments have sparked criticism.

Last year, she trashed the original Disney version of “Snow White” during interviews when she was theoretically supposed to be promoting her remake of the animated classic.

As NBC News reported at the time:

“I just mean that it’s no longer 1937,” Zegler said. “We absolutely wrote a ‘Snow White’ that … she’s not going to be saved by the prince, and she’s not going to be dreaming about true love; she’s going to be dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave and true.”

Another interview at the D23 Expo was also scrutinized on social media. In the sound bite, Zegler told Extra TV that there’s a big focus on Snow White’s love story in the original film “with a guy who literally stalks her.” She called that part of the story “weird” and said they “didn’t do that this time.”

“We have a different approach to what I’m sure a lot of people will assume is a love story just because we cast a guy in the movie,” she said. “It’s really not about the love story at all, which is really, really wonderful.”

Her comments were widely panned, as this news coverage details:
