In a dramatic clash that has sent shockwaves through Hollywood, conservative commentator Candace Owens has launched a blistering attack on actress Rachel Zegler, claiming her “woke” rhetoric is to blame for the catastrophic failure of Disney’s highly anticipated Snow White remake. Owens, known for her fiery critiques, didn’t hold back, labeling Zegler a “narcissistic nightmare” and accusing her of jeopardizing a film that cost hundreds of millions to produce.
The controversy erupted after Zegler’s public support for Palestine ignited a firestorm, putting her co-star Gal Gadot—a former Israeli Defense Forces member—at risk. Instead of apologizing for the fallout, Zegler doubled down, prompting Owens to unleash a scathing tirade that left Zegler reeling. Following Owens’ remarks, Zegler posted a teary-eyed apology video, further highlighting the pressure mounting against her.
Owens argues that Zegler and her fellow “woke” activists are engaged in a broader cultural war, aiming to dismantle traditional narratives and values. “The woke agenda isn’t just about tweaking culture; it’s about tearing it down,” Owens declares. With fans already outraged over the film’s direction, Zegler’s recent incendiary comments wishing harm upon Trump supporters have only fueled the fire.
As backlash mounts from all sides—right, moderate, and even some on the left—Zegler’s attempts at damage control are being met with skepticism. Owens and others are adamant that this isn’t just about a single actress’s missteps; it’s a battle over Hollywood’s ideological future. With Zegler’s credibility hanging by a thread, the industry watches closely: will she recover, or is this the beginning of the end for her career? The fallout from this explosive exchange promises to reshape the narrative around Disney’s Snow White remake and the future of woke culture in Hollywood.
