Gal Gadot Unleashes Fury—Calls Rachel Zegler the Disaster of Snow White!?
It’s 7:09 p.m. PDT on March 20, 2025, and the eve of Disney’s Snow White release has turned into a full-blown Hollywood meltdown. Gal Gadot, the steely Evil Queen of the $270 million live-action remake, just dropped a verbal grenade that’s left jaws on the floor: she’s reportedly branded her co-star Rachel Zegler—the film’s Snow White—a “disaster” who’s tanked the project before it even hits theaters. Days from the March 21 premiere, this isn’t just a feud—it’s a merciless takedown that’s got Disney sweating, fans raging, and the internet ablaze. What’s really going on behind this fairy-tale facade?
The Shot Heard ‘Round the World
The bombshell hit during a late-night Jimmy Kimmel Live! taping on March 19, airing hours ago. Gadot, 39, was all charm in a black velvet gown, hyping her villainous turn—until Kimmel prodded about the film’s rocky road. “Gal, you’ve got this massive movie, but it’s been… controversial,” he teased. Her smile tightened. Then, boom: “Look, I’ve given my all—years of prep, heart, soul. But when your lead’s a disaster, dragging chaos everywhere, it’s hard to save the ship.” No name-drop, but the target’s obvious—Rachel Zegler, 23, the West Side Story star who’s been a lightning rod since day one.
X ignited instantly: “Gal just called Rachel a disaster on live TV—NO MERCY!” one user shrieked. “She’s not wrong—Zegler’s sunk Snow White with her mouth,” another piled on. Gadot’s camp hasn’t clarified, but the timing—hours after muted LA premiere buzz and a Disneyland solo strut—feels like a calculated gut punch. Disney’s PR machine’s in overdrive, but the damage is done.
A Clash of Titans—and Tempers
This isn’t a sudden snap—it’s a volcano erupting. Gadot and Zegler’s rift traces back to 2021, when Zegler nabbed Snow White and promptly trashed the 1937 original as “weird” and “stalker-y,” vowing a feminist reboot. Gadot, an ex-IDF soldier and Wonder Woman vet, joined as the Evil Queen, exuding old-school grit. Their divide’s stark: Zegler’s a vocal pro-Palestine activist—her August 2024 “Free Palestine” trailer post sent Disney into a tailspin—while Gadot’s fiercely pro-Israel, slamming pro-Palestine protesters at an ADL summit weeks back. “They’ve got nothing in common,” a People source dished. “Gal’s annoyed—she’s a pro; Rachel’s a loose cannon.”
On set, it was ice-cold. Insiders told Daily Mail Gadot “bristled” at Zegler’s antics—rewriting songs like “Some Day My Prince Will Come” to ditch romance, pushing “magical creatures” over dwarfs after Peter Dinklage’s rant. The Oscars on March 2? They presented together, but Zegler leaned away, Gadot’s eyes steel. The LA premiere on March 15 was a “scaled-back” dud—no red carpet Q&A, just kids and Disney’s tame press. Gadot’s Kimmel strike feels like her breaking point: “I’m not carrying this mess.”
Disney’s Dream Turns Nightmare
Snow White was cursed from the start. Zegler’s casting drew racist flak—“Not white enough!”—while her “woke” spin alienated fans: “It’s not Snow White if she’s a CEO, not a princess,” one X post fumed. The CGI dwarfs? A $50 million flop, slammed by actors like Martin Klebba as “erasing” little people. Gadot’s pro-Israel stance sparked BDS boycott calls; Zegler’s Trump jabs and Palestine posts fueled MAGA rage. Disney’s $450 million gamble (production plus marketing) is teetering—Deadline predicts a weak $80 million opening against Mufasa’s roar.
Reviews aren’t helping. Variety calls Zegler “frolicsome,” but The Independent trashes Gadot’s “dud” Queen and the “lazy” script. Gadot’s “disaster” jab flips the blame—Zegler’s the fall guy, not her. “Gal’s throwing Rachel under the bus to save face,” an X user sniped. “Smart—she’s the only one who’ll survive this.”
The Fallout—and the Fury
Zegler’s silent so far—her last X post, a cryptic “Keep singing” on March 18, now reads like defiance. Fans are split: “Gal’s a queen; Rachel’s a brat—Disney’s toast,” vs. “Gadot’s cruel—Zegler’s the heart of this.” The boycott’s deafening—#BoycottSnowWhite trends as fans vow to skip it. “Disney let Gal bury Rachel—film’s DOA,” one declared. Dan Baldwin’s Holly Willoughby split might’ve trended earlier, but Gadot’s salvo stole the night.
At 7:09 p.m. PDT, March 20, 2025, Snow White’s premiere looms like a funeral. Gadot’s unsparing—Zegler’s a “disaster” in her eyes, and she’s not mincing words. Disney’s dream’s a wreck, colleagues are ducking, and the audience? Speechless or seething. This isn’t a fairy tale—it’s a slaughter, and Gadot’s holding the axe.
