After going on an unhinged rant, hoping President Trump and his supporters would "never know peace," Zegler has backtracked under the heavy backlash. But let's call it what it is – a desperate attempt to salvage her career and Disney's box office cash cow.
She claims, "I let my emotions get the best of me," but what she really meant was, she realized that alienating half the country wasn't the best move for someone about to star in a film that relies on widespread appeal. And let's not forget, she's only sorry because she got caught in the crosshairs of her own divisive rhetoric, not because she suddenly found respect for differing opinions.
Disney, ever the bastion of liberal indoctrination, probably had their hands full, trying to clean up this mess. They've been pushing for diversity and inclusion, but apparently, that doesn't extend to political diversity.
Now, as Zegler promises to "contribute positively," one wonders what that even means in Hollywood's echo chamber. This apology is nothing more than damage control, a PR move to keep Snow White from bombing at the box office.
But the question remains, will this be enough to convince families to spend their hard-earned money on a film tainted by political pettiness?
