Rachel Zegler Spills On Most 'Alarming' Part Of Her 'Snow White' Backlash
HuffPost
The "Snow White" star revealed the six words that did "wonders" for her as she navigated online criticism.
Rachel Zegler — the star of Disney’s live-action “Snow White” — opened up about dealing with backlash to her social media posts, some of which reportedly alarmed Disney executives prior to the film’s release.
Zegler — who notably faced initial criticism after Disney cast her, a non-white actor, in the remake — told i-D magazine that the takes about her were “really alarming” at times and, after the criticism began to deeply impact her, her “fucking therapist” that’s seen her “through all of it” offered a blunt reminder.
“’[She said] ‘What you’re going through isn’t normal.’ That sentence did such wonders for me in multiple situations in my life,” Zegler recalled.
Zegler revealed that she also received medication for her anxiety, saying it was “truly a game changer” because she wasn’t functioning at the time.
“And I wanted to function in a way that made me feel confident in the way I was moving through the world,” she continued.
