Disney’s “Snow White” actress Rachel Zegler called on people to leave the social media platform X and attacked voters who picked President-elect Donald Trump.

In a series of posts that were screenshotted from her Instagram Stories, the 23-year-old actress bemoaned the results of the 2024 election and Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat before she lashed out at what she said would be “four years of hatred.”

“I shouldn’t be this shocked, but I am,” Zegler wrote in the screenshot. “I am heartbroken for my friends who awoke fear this morning … this loss should not have been by so many votes.”

“I echo Ethel Cain’s statement more than anything, may Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace,” she added, calling it “absolutely terrifying the number of people who stand behind” Trump.

“It is a foolish subscription to a false sense of security, of masculinity, of intelligence, of patriotism, and of humanity,” the actress continued. “There is no help, no counsel in any of them.”

She then called on people to get off Elon Musk’s app, because he “helped get that man [Trump] elected and you’re giving him business.” Zelger closed out her rant by calling on her followers to focus now on their Democrat Governors and then wrote, “F**k Donald Trump.”

Zegler, a vocal left-wing activist, made headlines last year when she faced a backlash over her feminist complaints about the 1937 animated film “Snow White” following news about her taking on the lead role in the remake of the classic Disney film.

Months later in an interview for Variety with fellow Disney actress Halle Bailey, Zegler appeared to sing a different tune when she gushed over the original “Snow White” as “a monumental moment in film history.”

“The cartoon is so beloved — it’s like a monumental moment in film history. It’s the first feature-length cartoon movie, to the point where it won honorary Oscars, and all these amazing things that happened for that film are the reason that you and I get to sit here today, because it made Disney what it is,” Zegler told Bailey, who starred as Ariel in the live-action version of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid.”

The actress went on to veer away from her past comment, saying she “loves everything the Disney company has put out” since its inception.

Zegler previously slammed the original story, describing the prince as a “stalker” and made it clear the live-action story she was part of would have nothing in common with the “weird” original 1937 love story.

Following Zegler’s remarks bashing the original film, The Daily Wire’s kids entertainment company Bentkey announced it would make a live-action film titled “Snow White and the Evil Queen,” starring YouTube sensation Brett Cooper.
