‘Snow White’ Star Rachel Zegler Gets Brutal Tongue-Lashing From Her Producer’s Own Son

The son of Disney executive Marc Platt reamed “Snow White” star Rachel Zegler Wednesday on social media.

Jonah Platt, 38, replied to remarks made in a since-deleted Instagram comment by an Instagram user showing support for Zegler, who played the titular role in the movie. The comments stemmed from a Variety publication the day before reporting that Platt’s father flew out to “speak directly” to Zegler about her posting “free palestine” in reply to an August 2024 post praising supporters for raising the profile of the film’s first teaser trailer. This incident followed her public criticisms of her character’s story in the original “Snow White” production.

An Instagram user called the move “creepy as hell and uncalled for,” according to a screenshot circulating online. Platt laced into Zegler in a reply, blaming her for the film’s low box office numbers.

A Disney insider told Variety that Zegler “didn’t understand the repercussions of her actions” leading up to the premiere of the film. The actress’ declared disdain for Donald Trump on social media was also noted in the report. Disney’s attempt to convince Zegler to delete the posts reportedly included the decision to send Marc Platt to discuss the matter with her in person, which ultimately proved to be unsuccessful.

Jonah Platt, an actor and host of the podcast “Being Jewish,” pushed back against the internet user’s suggestion that his father’s actions were “creepy.” He said Zegler’s comments have had an impact on the film and the significant number of people who worked hard on its production.

“Yeah, my dad, the producer of the enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, had to leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand his 20-year-old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicly for,” Platt wrote in his social media response.

“This is called adult responsibility and accountability,” he said.

He continued to drag Zegler for the film’s lackluster performance. “Her actions clearly hurt the film’s box office. Free speech does not mean you’re allowed to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions,” he wrote.

Jonah publicly called out the star without holding anything back.

“Tens of thousands of people worked on that film and she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires at the risk of the colleagues and crew and blue collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful.”

“Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged,” he said.

The film generated $43 million on it’s opening weekend and cost around $270 million to produce. (RELATED: ‘Snow White’ Is So Bad That Even Hollywood Optimists Issued Scathing Reviews)
