The son of “Snow White” producer Marc Platt dragged the film’s lead actress Rachel Zegler after the movie flopped at the box office.
Jonah Platt posted his comment about Zegler on Instagram, in response to a user who asked why his father flew to New York City to confront Zegler for ruining his movie.
“Tens of thousands of people worked on that film and she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires at the risk of all the colleagues and crew and blue-collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful,” Jonah wrote.
“Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged,” he added.
“Snow White” cost $500 million to produce and market, but critics say it will never recoup the production and marketing budget.
Fans of Snow White complained about Hollywood’s live-action “woke remake” starring Rachel Zegler. The 23-year-old liberal actress sparked backlash due to her comments about today’s woman and her support of Palestine.
In an interview, Zegler said Snow White didn’t need a man to save her.
She described the original 1937 animated film as “dated” and said that Prince Charming “literally stalks” Snow White.

Fans were further outraged when the 7 dwarfs were cast as normal-sized men and women in the film. Even the term “dwarfs” was considered “offensive” by the movie’s producers who renamed them “magical creatures.”
Fans said “Snow White and the 7 Magical Creatures” didn’t have the same ring to it.
“To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community,” a spokesperson for Disney told The Hollywood Reporter.
Despite those controversies, critics say the movie flopped for one reason: Rachel Zegler’s narcissism.

In her own defense, Zegler compared herself to priceless artwork arriving at the Louvre in pieces.
“And to everyone who hates when I win, the Winged Victory [famous sculpture] came to the Louvre in pieces,” she said, as she fought back tears, “and people still line up to see her.”
She continued: “And I can only hope that despite my flaws… that at every premiere and everything I do, people will wait in line to see.”
