          Her new film is Snow White

Rachel Zegler broke cover in New York City on Sunday amid severe backlash for criticizing newly-elected President Donald Trump and his supporters.

The 23-year-old actress failed to crack a smile as she walked her beloved 20-month-old dog Lenny. 

Her outing also comes amid reports that the controversial remake of Snow White – in which she plays the тιтular role – has already blown its budget, ballooning to a hefty $269.4 million before it’s even been released. 

Zegler has previously hit back at claims Disney had gone ‘woke’ by casting a Latina actress in the role of Snow White, a character who in the 1937 original is described as having “skin as white as snow.”

The film, which is not due for release until next March, is said to be well over its production budget already.   

Meanwhile, Zegler recently doubled down online after her candidate Kamala Harris was defeated at the polls.

On election night, Zegler lamented ‘another four years of hatred’ that would ‘lean us towards a world I do not want to live in,’ and she cursed: ‘May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.’

‘There is a deep, deep sickness in this country that is shown in the sheer amount of people who showed up for this man who threatens our democracy,’ the half-Colombian beauty – who boasts 2.3M Instagram followers – wrote on November 4.

‘It is a foolish subscription to a false sense of security, of masculinity, of intelligence, of patriotism, and of humanity.’

A source told DailyMail.com on Saturday that ‘it has just been one disaster after another’ with Rachel and Disney execs ‘are scared that a huge audience will steer clear from the film as their own boycott, costing the film tons of money.’

Last Thursday, Zegler was clearly feeling the pressure as she issued a formal apology for her comments.

‘I would like to sincerely apologize for the election post I shared on Instagram last week,’ The Hunger Games actress wrote via Instastory.

‘I let my emotions get the best of me. Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse. This week has been emotional for so many of us, but I firmly believe that everyone has the right to their opinion, even when it differs from my own. I am committed to contributing positively towards a better tomorrow.’

But one look at Rachel’s latest Instagram post shows the backlash has only strengthened since her apology.

‘We are just common, ordinary citizens,’ Instagram user @theenchantedgardener69 commented. ‘Why do you wish us harm?’

Instagram user @timv777 blasted: ‘Sorry, apology not accepted. You just said that [because] two movies are coming out and you want people to pay you lol!’

‘Bye bye. You’re cancelled,’ Instagram user @ladyceleste39 commented.

You'd think Rachel would've learned a hard lesson about being too outspoken for her own good last year amid the backlash to her Snow White criticism, but she doubled down online after her candidate Kamala Harris was defeated at the polls

The outspoken Zoomer takes on the тιтular Disney Princess in Marc Webb’s $209M-budget ‘PC’ live-action remake of the Brothers Grimm fairytale – hitting US/UK theaters March 21 – opposite Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen and a slew of CGI dwarves.

Rachel previously criticized David Hand’s 1937 original animated film as ‘extremely dated when it comes to the ideas of women being in roles of power and what a woman is fit for in the world.’

‘The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so,’ Zegler scoffed to Extra TV in 2022.

‘There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird. So we didn’t do that this time.’
