Jonah Platt, the son of “Snow White” producer Marc Platt, has laid blame for the Disney remake’s lackluster box office performance on its star Rachel Zegler, who he accused of “narcissism” for “dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting a movie.”

Per a Variety report, producer Marc Platt’s meeting with the film’s star was a failed attempt to get the actor to delete a social media post reading “and always remember, free palestine.” Variety reported that Platt met with Zegler again after she posted “frick Donald Trump” and “May Trump supporters … never know peace.” The meeting led to Disney hiring a social media professional to vet Zegler’s online presence.

“Yeah, my dad, the producer of enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, had to leave his family to to fly across the country to reprimand his 20 year old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for,” Jonah Platt wrote. “This is called adult responsibility and accountability. And her actions clearly hurt the film’s box office.”

“Free speech does not meant you’re allowed to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions,” Platt continued. “Tens of thousands of people worked on that film and she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires at the risk of all the colleagues and crew and blue collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful. Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged.”

Spot on. This 20-year-old child narcissist just *had* to broadcast her misguided opinions to the world, which endangered the jobs of thousands of other people who aren't millionaires. I love that people in the industry are openly calling her out for this.
