The Pro-Palestinian posts of Snow White Star Rachel Zegler are blamed for a peak in death threats aimed at her Israeli co-star Gal Gadot, who is so fierce Disney grew for private security.
Zegler, 23, made film managers nervous after they 'and always remember, Free Palestine' after an X post last August in which she discussed the hype for the controversial fairy tale film.
The comment is said to have reported a peak in death threats towards her 40-year-old CO star Gadot, who, according to Variety, plays the angry queen.
The Hollywood Journal has suggested that Gadot came so much fire from fans that Disney Top Brass chose to hire the security for the mother of four, who completed Israel Defense Forces Service for two years as an instructor in her youth.
It is the newest in a long line of controversies to defy the live-action remake of Disney's classic, the first function-length animation produced by the studio in 1937.
Zegler – who will appear in a revival by Evita in London this year – took released on August 13 last year last year after the first trailer for the Live action remake of the animations classification.
Thank fans for looking at the teaser, she wrote: 'I love you all of you! Thank you for love and viewed for 120 m about our trailer in just 24 hours! What a whirlwind. I am in the middle of rehearsals for Romeo + Juliet, so I'm leaving here. Day for now. '
A minute later she added: “And always remember, free Palestine.”

From March 26, the first message is loved 45,000 times; The second, 112,000 times.
It sent Disney managers in a spiral in a crisis for the remake of $ 270 million live action, the last of different 're-imaginings' of Disney classics who have been vague to date by critics.
Producer Marc Platt is said to have flown from Los Angeles to New York to talk to her personally. However, the message remained online.
The New York Times reported last week that Platt had to remind her of how much was at stake with the film and her career before she asked her to 'post heatherful'.
One insider said Variety: “She did not understand the consequences of her actions what that meant for the film, for Gal, for everyone.”
Platt went home to La, whom he had endured to Zegler, who won a Golden Globe for her film debut performance as Maria in the remake of Steven Spielberg of West Side Story.
However, the actress ringed alarm bells after placing a new anger in November last year after Donald Trump won his second presidential election.
“May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace,” she smoked on an Instagram story, apparently posted during the interval of a performance of Romeo + Juliet on Broadway.
“There is also a deep, deep disease in this country that is shown in the enormous amount of people who show up for this man who threatens our democracy.”
She drew the messages with: 'I will love these four years as well as possible. F *** Donald Trump. '

Disney -bosses reportedly reached the breaking point with the Trump posts, because it became clear that they possibly discouraged the 49.8 percent of Americans who voted for Trump in the popular mood.
She also apologized after the Trump post and wrote on Instagram: “Hate and anger have led us to go further and further away from peace and understanding, and I'm sorry that I contributed to the negative discourse.”
Gadot, for her part, has limited her reports about the Israel-Hamas war to videos that call for the return of hostages taken on October 7, 2023, and an Instagram message stating: “I am at Israel you too.”
She also told the annual top of the Anti-Defamation League on March 4: I never imagined that in the streets of the United States, and several cities around the world, people would see who would not condemn Hamas, but celebrate, justify and cheer from a massacre of Jews. '
She has previously expressed support for the IDF – with whom she has completed compulsory service. She has also expressed horror about the death of 'innocent Palestinians' and 'innocent Israelis' in the Israeli war in an Instagram post – which she later changed to remove the reference to Palestinians.
Sources suggested variation that Zegler and Gadot get along well during production – but that they were far away in the run -up to the release of the film.
Disney was also accused of feeding the perception of a feud between the couple by planning them for individual appearances during press dresses.
And when Wonder Woman star Gadot appeared in Los Angeles last week to reveal her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the event was goded by pro-Palestine activists.
Some wore places of Gadot in her role as the malignant queen, under title: “Snow White supports genocide.”
But the row -and the effect that it has been possible on Gadot, whose Instagram messages are littered with comments from Pro -Palestine supporters -is only the newest scandal to bully this restless remake.

She also pledged the original film for what she sees as a 'sexist' traditional romantic plot, and revealed that she refused to ever sing the iconic of the original that my prince will come – which now only appears as an instrumental.
'There is a big focus on her love story with a man who literally stalks her. Strange, “she said at the D23 Expo 2022.

But last week she seemed to change heart when she went to Instagram to share a new hairstyle inspired by Adriana Caselotti, who expressed Snow White in the animated film.
Zegler posed for a Kokett shoot with a bow in her hair and laughing, wrote: “Only had to pay tribute to the original Snow White, Miss Adriana Caselotti, to whom I owe everything.”
The film was also plagued with other controversies outside the comments of Zegler, in the midst of accusations of a 'awake' task task to remove dated cultural references and stereotypes.
Dwarf actors including Peter Dinklage and Jason Acuna – better known as 'Woe Man' in MTV Prank Series Jackass – criticized the decision not to hire actors with dwarfism to play doc, bashful, dopey, grumpy, sneezy, happy and slepty.
Disney leaders, however, will be shudder at the global cash register weekend names of the film – the most important figures for every new film, with regard to maximum interest in the public.
