DISNEY TRIES TO AVOID PR NIGHTMARE BY LIMITING RACHEL ZEGLER'S INTERACTION WITH PRESS

DISNEY TRIES TO AVOID PR NIGHTMARE BY LIMITING RACHEL ZEGLER'S INTERACTION WITH PRESS.
The Hollywood premiere for Disney's live-action adaptation of Snow White will be 'scaled back' amid the backlash surrounding its stars Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot.
Despite spending upward of $269.4 million to make the film, which has been plagued with controversy and setbacks, Variety revealed that Disney would not be giving the movie the same red carpet treatment as other similar projects.
While Zegler, 23, and Gadot, 39, are expected to be at attendance at a pre-party and screening for Snow White, held at the El Capitan Theatre on March 15, 'coverage will be limited to photographers and a house crew.'
While most premieres invite dozens of media outlets to cover the event and interview the cast, the studio has decided to buck tradition in this case.
The choice comes amid criticism and fears that the remake prioritized 'woke' messaging over authentic storytelling.
Since casting Zegler, toxic Disney fans have nitpicked every deviation from the classic fairy tale, from shifting away from the traditional romance plot to reimagining the Seven Dwarfs as a diverse group of 'magical creatures' of all heights, gender and race.
