Jonah Platt, son of Snow White producer Marc Platt, has blamed star Rachel Zegler for the Disney remake’s weak box office collection, accusing her of “narcissism” and dragging “personal politics” into its promotion.

According to a Variety report, Platt, 38, responded to an Instagram comment about his father allegedly flying to New York to ‘reprimand’ Zegler during the film’s promotion. Platt later deleted his reply. Another Variety report said producer Marc’s meeting with Zegler was a failed attempt to get the actress to delete a social media post reading “and always remember, free Palestine.”

The post, originally published in August 2024, came at the same time as the release of the Snow White trailer. What stood out, however, was Zegler’s decision to voice her pro-Palestinian stance in the same thread where she talked about the movie’s trailer. Despite pressure from Disney’s executives, Zegler didn’t delete her post.

In his since-deleted reply on Instagram, Platt wrote, “Her actions clearly hurt the film’s box office. Free speech does not meant you’re allowed to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions.”

The highly anticipated live-action film has gained substantial buzz for its off-screen drama more than its fairytale plot line, including over the alleged tensions between leading stars pro-Palestine Zegler and pro-Israel Gal Gadot. Jonah’s comments quickly drew backlash. Netizens were quick to call him a “nepo” baby.
