have exploded in recent weeks. However, a new report claims outspoken star Rachel Zegler’s social media posts have roiled the House of Mouse internally for months.After Zegler fired off a series of missives that disparaged President Donald Trump, the studio went so far as to hire a “social media guru” to closely scrutinize her online activity, according to Variety.In November 2024 — three months after the 23-year-old actress was criticized for commenting “and always remember, free palestine [sic]” on a trailer for her PG-rated family movie — she piled on, posting “F–k Donald Trump” and “May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.”Disney did not want to alienate the 49.8% of Americans who voted for Trump that month from seeing its $270 million movie, so it reportedly enlisted an overseer for Zegler.“After a back and forth, she began working with a social media guru paid for by Disney to vet any posts before the film’s March 21 bow,” the report said.The worried studio also implored the “West Side Story” star to take down her Palestine post.

a bombshell report on Tuesday with alleged inside information on the behind-the-scenes beef between “Snow White” stars Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot.Sources claimed that the actresses didn’t have “bad blood” and “got along well” when they filmed the controversial Disney flick — but “things got awkward” for the pair before the movie’s March 21 release.While Zegler, 23, and Gadot, 39, seemingly clashed because of their opposing views on the war in Gaza, they reportedly fell out over a social media comment made by Zegler earlier this month.According to Variety, Zegler called Gadot “a professional pageant queen” in an Instagram reply after they presented an award together at the Oscars on March 2.Sources said that the remark is “considered a dismissive way to describe a fellow actress.”In the lead-up to the film’s release, Disney decided to have Zegler and Gadot mostly do press separately. That decision, according to Variety’s sources, “fueled the perception of a feud” between the two.Zegler and Gadot were reportedly “mostly kept apart” at the scaled-back “Snow White” premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on March 15.For the screening that immediately followed the premiere, Zegler allegedly sat two rows ahead of Gadot and her family, per Variety.The outlet said that by the time of the premiere, “Disney had given up hope that the film could overcome the backlash” that was overshadowing the film.Additionally, there was tension between the actresses after Zegler wrote “Free Palestine” on X around the time the first trailer for “Snow White” was released online in August 2024.
