LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rachel Zegler reflected on her choice of words while slamming Donald Trump and his supporters after she faced strong criticism online. 

The ‘Snow White’ star in her previous post on Instagram hoped “Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace” after the former president swiped the November elections.

Rachel Zegler's latest statement on Donald Trump

On Thursday, November 14, Rachel Zegler again took to Instagram to share, “Hi everyone, I would like to sincerely apologize for the election post I shared on Instagram last week. I let me 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.”

The 23-year-old continued, “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,” reported The Hollywood Reporter.



 

In his previous rant, Zegler reacted to Trump’s victory and hit out, "I find myself speechless in the midst of this. another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world i do not want to live in."

"I shouldn't be this shocked. but i am. i am heartbroken for my friends who awoke [in] fear this morning. and i am here with you. to cry, to yell, to hug. to wax poetic on how the left continues to fail us in forging a new path forward. this loss should not have been. and it certainly should not have been by so many votes," she expressed.

Internet rejects Rachel Zegler's apology as '100%' fake

Netizens didn't buy into Rachel Zegler's apology regarding her comments on Donald Trump's election victory and called it a statement under pressure from Disney over her upcoming flick. 

One person wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "This is a fake apology and it's 100% denied. You don't make peace with people like this." 

"The Disney damage control team wrote that banger," another commented.

An individual suggested, "You'd think Disney would learn by now. She has been nothing but a thorn in their side when it comes to negative press."

"The only thing these woke corporations care about, ultimately is money. Hit them where it hurts and boycott any films this retard is attached to. Why give people who hate you money?" one speculated.
