**Rachel Zegler’s Ultimatum: A South Park Episode Sparks Disney Controversy**
In an explosive turn of events, Rachel Zegler has issued a bold ultimatum demanding the ban of a scathing *South Park* episode that brutally lampoons her portrayal in Disney’s much-criticized *Snow White* remake. The episode, titled “Snow Woke,” sees the iconic animated series mercilessly mock not just Disney’s reimagining of the beloved classic but also Zegler’s public persona.
Zegler, who plays the titular character, has found herself at the epicenter of a social media firestorm following her controversial comments during promotional interviews. Her repeated critiques of the original *Snow White* narrative, where she labeled the prince a “stalker” and the character a “doormat,” ignited backlash from fans who cherished the fairy tale’s romantic roots. The *South Park* episode seized on this, portraying her in a manner that many deemed humiliating, showcasing the rift between traditional storytelling and modern interpretations.
The fallout has been swift and brutal. Internet memes proliferated as viewers reacted to Zegler’s comments and the *South Park* parody, leading to a viral backlash that left Disney executives scrambling. Reports suggest that Disney attempted to pressure creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone into issuing an apology for their biting satire, a move that seems destined to backfire, given the duo’s history of relishing controversy.
As if the situation couldn’t get worse, the *Snow White* film itself has struggled to find an audience, grossing a mere fraction of its $250 million budget. The film’s release has been met with derision, with critics from all corners—ranging from Joe Rogan to Bill Maher—unanimously condemning Disney’s apparent abandonment of the original’s charm for a politically correct narrative.
Zegler’s efforts to modernize *Snow White* have drawn ire from both fans and industry veterans, leaving her in a precarious position. As she faces a tidal wave of criticism, her calls for censorship of *South Park* only seem to deepen the divide, cementing her role as the face of a highly contentious Disney project. The question now lingers: can Zegler and Disney rebound from this PR catastrophe, or has the magic of *Snow White* been lost forever?
