In a shocking live broadcast, Bill Maher and Joe Rogan tore into Rachel Zegler, the star of Disney’s beleaguered live-action “Snow White,” leaving no stone unturned in their scathing critique. The duo didn’t hold back, branding Zegler’s performance and the movie itself a colossal disaster, igniting an uproar among fans and critics alike.
“Snow White,” a $300 million gamble for Disney, has flopped spectacularly, earning a dismal $43 million during its opening weekend and garnering a mere 2.2 rating on IMDb. Maher and Rogan unleashed a torrent of disdain, condemning the film’s “woke” narrative, which they argue has alienated audiences. Zegler’s portrayal, described as “insufferable” and “entitled,” has been lambasted for disregarding the charm of the original fairy tale, opting instead for a feminist agenda that has left viewers underwhelmed.
Maher highlighted Zegler’s past comments about the 1937 classic, accusing her of trashing the beloved story while promoting a narrative that diminishes the romance central to “Snow White.” Rogan chimed in, emphasizing how the film’s drastic changes, including the transformation of the prince into a mere background character and the dwarves being replaced by CGI creatures, have ᵴtriƥped away the magic of the original.
With theaters reportedly ghost towns and merchandise collecting dust, the backlash against Zegler’s portrayal has led to calls for a boycott, particularly after her controversial comments on social media. “This isn’t about some guy saving her,” Zegler claimed, while fans lamented the loss of the film’s whimsical charm.
As Disney grapples with the fallout, insiders say execs are in “meltdown mode,” fearing the ramifications of this cinematic misfire. With Zegler’s future now uncertain and Disney’s reputation hanging in the balance, the question remains: can the entertainment giant recover from this fairy tale turned nightmare?
