RACHEL ZEGLER Breaks Down As Disney Replaces JENNA ORTEGA As SNOW WHITE At Last Minute, She Speaks Out To Criticize…

Rachel Zegler’s Snow White is whistling a new tune. 

Indeed, the West Side Story actress, who will play the titular character in the upcoming live action Disney adaptation of the 1937 film, recently shared that the line in the original Snow White, denoting her character as someone with “skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony,” will be modified to fit her Colombian heritage. 

“It fell back to another version of Snow White that was told in history,” Rachel explained in an interview with Variety published Oct. 2. “Where she survived a snowstorm that occurred when she was a baby, and so the king and queen decided to name her Snow White to remind her of her resilience. One of the core points in our film for any woman or young person is remembering how strong you actually are.”

The 23-year-old’s update on the upcoming film follows social media outrage that has droned on since she was first cast in 2021. On top of the racist backlash that stemmed from Rachel securing the main role, many Disney fans did not like how she criticized the original film’s plot in interviews after her casting was announced. 

In 2022, Rachel called out the animated version’s antiquated plot, telling Extra, “There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird. So we didn’t do that this time.”

And looking back years later, the public’s reaction to her quote made her “sad.”

“I would never want to box someone in and say, ‘If you want love, then you can’t work.’ Or ‘If you want to work, then you can’t have a family,’” Rachel clarified to Variety. “It’s not true. It’s never been true. It can be very upsetting when things get taken out of context or jokes don’t land.”

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes actress emphasized that while her Snow White film—in which she stars opposite Andrew Burnap—will have changes, it will also remain true to the story its most dedicated fans are hoping for. 

“The love story is very integral,” Rachel continued, noting her previous comments had been taken out of context. “We were always doing that; it just wasn’t what we were talking about on that day.”
