Jonah Platt blames Rachel Zegler for Snow White controversy

Broadway performer Jonah Platt’s recent Instagram post responding to comments about Rachel Zegler has sparked varied responses. In a 38-year-old’s own words, he clarified his family background following a remark that claimed, “Your father traveled to NYC to scold a young actress? Any thoughts on this? Aren’t people entitled to free speech? It’s unfortunate your father did so.

Initially, Platt penned a lengthy reply to the comment. He began by questioning, “Are you serious about this?” Subsequently, he elaborated, describing an incident where his father, who is the producer of a substantial Disney intellectual property with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake, had to abandon his family and travel across the country to reprimand his 20-year-old worker.

He also stated that the individual under discussion mixed her political views with the promotion of the movie. Platt pointed out that this person had agreed to a large contract, estimated in millions, for promoting the film.

In a critique, Platt pointed out that the individual’s reliability was questionable, stating, “Her actions undeniably affected the film’s ticket sales negatively.” He underscored the idea that the freedom of speech doesn’t grant an individual the license to express themselves without consequence when their professional obligations are at stake.

In a fresh round of comments, The List’s critic lambasted Zegler, accusing her of taking over the discussion for personal, immature motivations. He emphasized that “numerous individuals, numbering in the tens of thousands, were involved in making that film,” all relying on its success. In closing his scathing remarks, he underscored that narcissism should not be indulged or fostered.

In the midst of the uproar over the Snow White promotions, Mexican actress Melissa Barrera has voiced her backing for Rachel Zegler. She reposted a message from Hollywood makeup artist Matt Bernstein on Instagram, criticizing the excessive media criticism and praising Zegler as “incredibly cool and brimming with integrity.

Zegler’s strong support for Palestine has garnered significant traction on X as well. One user remarked, “In the face of those trying to suppress her, she stayed true to her beliefs. This is what makes Rachel Zegler a hero in the eyes of many.
