Imagine your dream comes true: You play a Disney princess in a major live-action film. But then this dream turns into an absolute nightmare. This is exactly what happened to Rachel Zegler, the young actress who took on the lead role in Disney's "Snow White" remake. The massive criticism she had to endure for this role was so overwhelming that she needed psychological help and medication to cope with it.

The world of entertainment is glamorous but also ruthless. Rachel Zegler, just 24 years old, faced a tsunami of negativity as soon as it was announced that she would play Snow White. This enormous pressure and constant public criticism wore her down. It was so bad that she admitted she couldn't function without professional help. Her psychiatrist repeatedly reminded her: "What you're going through right now is not normal." A sentence that, according to Zegler, worked wonders and helped her stay grounded.

A Battle Against Anxiety: Medication as a Lifeline

The emotional strain from online criticism and negative headlines was so immense that Rachel Zegler eventually started taking medication for anxiety. A decision that, in her own words, greatly helped her regain solid ground. This once again shows how important it is to talk about mental health and seek help when needed. Even Hollywood stars are not immune to such challenges.

The Origin of the Backlash: A Controversial Statement About Disney Classics

But where did this enormous backlash come from in the first place? The whole fuss about the new "Snow White" film and Rachel Zegler began a long time ago. The actress had called the original 1937 animated film "outdated" and criticized that the prince literally "stalks" Snow White in it. A statement that did not sit well with many hardcore Disney fans and sparked a wave of outrage. Suddenly, calls to boycott the film were everywhere, and some even demanded that Zegler be replaced by another actress.

Caught in the Crossfire: Behind-the-Scenes Trouble and a Bitter Flop

As if that wasn't enough, there were also rumors of tensions behind the scenes. Rachel Zegler was reportedly also at odds with her co-star Gal Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen. Allegedly, differing views on the Middle East conflict were the trigger for these disagreements. The film, which finally hit theaters in March, turned into a massive flop. A disaster that further exacerbated the already tense situation surrounding the production and its stars.

A New Dawn for the Princess: Back on Stage

Despite all these setbacks and massive negativity, Rachel Zegler looks optimistically to the future. She is not letting herself be defeated and has already embarked on a new, exciting project. She is currently starring in the lead role of the acclaimed musical "Evita" at the famous London "West End Theatre." A sign that she is forging her own path and not letting criticism discourage her. One can only hope that this new chapter brings her the recognition she deserves.
