In a recent outburst, psychologist and cultural commentator Jordan Peterson took aim at actress Rachel Zegler’s controversial remarks regarding Disney’s upcoming “Snow White” remake. The film, which has incurred significant backlash even before its release, reportedly cost $300 million to produce yet holds a dismal 2.2 rating on IMDb.

Critics argue that Zegler’s comments about the original 1937 film, which she labeled as having “creepy themes,” have alienated Disney’s core audience. Many fans expressed outrage, feeling betrayed by what they perceive as a disrespectful dismissal of a beloved classic. Peterson joins a chorus of dissenters who believe that Zegler’s attitude has sabotaged the film’s potential success.

The backlash intensified after Zegler’s mocking tone during interviews, where she suggested that the film’s original love story was outdated, stating, “She’s not going to be saved by the prince.” This sentiment resonated poorly with audiences eager for nostalgia and traditional fairy tale themes. Critics have slammed Zegler for adopting a “woke” narrative that many believe detracts from the film’s essence, transforming what should have been a fresh take into a public relations nightmare.

Despite Disney’s attempts to pivot the narrative towards empowerment and new perspectives, viewers remain unconvinced. The film’s opening weekend was marked by empty theaters and widespread disappointment, as audiences seemingly rejected Zegler’s portrayal of the character and the film’s direction.

In the wake of the film’s disastrous early reception, insiders report that Zegler’s career may be jeopardized, with whispers of studio executives reconsidering future projects featuring her. As the dust settles, industry experts are questioning whether Disney will reevaluate its approach to remakes and the importance of respecting the legacy of its classic films, highlighting the potential ramifications of one actress’s misstep in a high-stakes production.
