According to Snow White star Rachel Zegler, rather than despair at the widespread backlash to her casting as a race-swapped version of Disney’s first canonical animated princess, the actress has learned to be “thankful” for the discussion as it’s allowed her to supposedly grow thicker skin.

However, while Zegler may now feel as if simply ‘ignoring her haters’ is the most prescient strategy for navigating her career, it seems as if this indifference was a rather recent development.

For example, while speaking to TheWrap in October, the actress cared so much about the public criticisms being leveled against her – particularly her blatant disregard for Disney’s original Snow White animated film – that she felt the need to change the narrative by painting her critics’ issues as being based in misogyny rather than demand for source material respect.

“To young Latino performers coming up in the industry, I would tell them to know their worth, and to make sure they’re loud about having seats at the tables they deserve to be at,” said Zegler. “I have learned the hard way that we have to be fearless and loud in order to be heard, and to prepare for the backlash that occasionally comes with that outspokenness.”
