Rachel Zegler recently broke down in tears after being mocked on South Park, where the show’s creators took jabs at Disney’s live-action Snow White remake, specifically targeting Zegler’s portrayal of the iconic princess. The South Park episode lampooned Disney’s decision to make Snow White “woke,” along with various aspects of Zegler’s public persona and the film’s controversial updates to the classic story.

Zegler, who has been the subject of criticism for her comments about the original Snow White film and her views on the traditional Disney princesses, appeared to be deeply affected by the South Park skits, which exaggerated her persona and emphasized the backlash against the “woke” elements of the remake. The show’s satirical humor, known for mocking celebrities and popular culture, took aim at what they described as the film’s attempt to modernize Snow White in a way that alienated long-time fans of the original.

The breakdown has sparked mixed reactions. Some sympathized with Zegler, acknowledging how harsh public mockery can affect a person’s mental health, while others criticized her for not embracing the satire in good humor. This incident has reignited the debate over the Snow White remake and Disney’s push for more inclusive and progressive narratives, with fans and critics divided over whether this “modernization” is necessary or disrespectful to the original material.

Zegler’s emotional response reflects the intense scrutiny that comes with taking on a role as beloved and iconic as Snow White, especially in a time where remakes and reimagined versions of classic films face fierce public debate over representation, cultural sensitivity, and artistic integrity.
