over the latter’s “Snow White” controversy. The original post that the “Hamilton” actress displayed on her Instagram was a quote saying, “Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged.”After that initial post, DeBose said in a follow-up, “I post quotes all the time and thought this one was meaningful.

Will fully cop to the fact I did not do any research on where this quote came from, nor did I know of the connection until it was pointed out to me.”The actress won an Oscar for her supporting role as Anita in Steven Spielberg’s 2021 adaptation of “West Side Story.” Zegler starred as Maria in that film. “I have no intention of inserting myself into a news cycle,” DeBose added in her follow-up post. “This is not the first time I’ve posted about dealing with narcissism and it probably won’t be the last, but next time I’ll be sure to clarify its origins first.”The original source of the quote was from Jonah Platt, the son of “Snow White” producer Marc Platt and the brother of actor Ben Platt.

Last week, Platt blasted Zegler as “immature” and “narcissistic” after it was revealed his father flew to New York to speak to her after Zegler made political comments online criticizing Donald Trump supporters and supporting Palestine.
