Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, protagonists of the live-action adaptation of “Snow White”, are in the eye of the storm due to rumors of a feud that have been circulating since last year.

It all started after Rachel Zegler shared the trailer for the new live-action adaptation of the Disney animated classic, and on August 12, 2024, she added some posts on X (Twitter), thanking for the support.

“I love you all very much! Thank you for all the love and for the 120 million views on our trailer in just 24 hours. It’s been crazy,” wrote the new Snow White, and in another post added: “And always remember: Free Palestine.”
Are Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot enemies?
That last post by Rachel Zegler was taken as a hint towards her colleague, Gal Gadot, who is from Israel and has expressed her full support for the Israeli government since the conflict with Palestine began.
Although she did not directly respond to her colleague, she reposted a quote from Martin Luther King Jr.: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
Days later, according to reporter Amy Spiro from the Times of Israel, Gal Gadot would have reposted another publication that said: “Trying to campaign by throwing dirt at your co-star, who is actually in a war, just so you can look cooler, is really pathetic.” However, this publication is no longer available.
Since then, the behavior between the two has changed, as before they seemed to get along very well, but after the conflict they barely speak to each other in the few interactions they have had together.
For this reason, Disney has decided that there will be no interviews at the premiere of “Snow White” and only a select few photographers will have access to the event. Some Palestinian groups have called for a boycott of the movie, so it is expected to be a box office failure.
