AceShowbiz - Even before hitting theaters, Disney's newest film, the live-action "Snow White", struggled under the weight of controversy. Rachel Zegler's casting as Snow White along with her comments about Gaza and the original story sparked debates.

Among her supporters, "The Last of Us" star Pedro Pascal has been vocal. Following his solidarity with Palestinian director Hamdan Ballal after violent attack by settlers in Gaza, Pascal shared a photo of Zegler on Instagram Stories, captioning it with a bold message, "#icon."

Melissa Barrera, who was previously removed from the "Scream" franchise for her pro-Palestine stance, also stepped forward to defend Zegler. Barrera especially slammed a Variety article that bashed Zegler, describing it as a "hit piece."

In contrast, Jonah Platt, son of "Snow White" producer Marc Platt who has raised hundreds of millions for Israel amid ongoing Gaza conflict, blasted Zegler and insisted that she should refrain from sharing her personal politics while she was working on a multimillion dollar project like "Snow White".

Ironically, he made no mention of Zegler's co-star Gal Gadot who also got political by voicing her support for Israel. Her Hollywood of Walk of Fame ceremony drew significant protests, clearly showing that her statements have alienated a huge number of fans.
