Why Snow White’s failure has turned Rachel Zegler into a scapegoat

Sean Ono Lennon criticised Rachel Zegler, star of Disney's live-action "Snow White," calling her a "spoiled, ungrateful and disconnected brat" in a now-deleted tweet.
This follows online backlash against Zegler, including accusations of a "smear campaign," due to her past comments on feminism, politics, and the original "Snow White" film.
Zegler's comments sparked controversy among right-wing critics and Trump supporters, leading to review bombing of the film on IMDb.
Jonah Platt, son of the film's producer, blamed Zegler's "personal politics" and "immature desires" for the film's poor box office performance.
The film has reportedly recouped only half of its estimated $230-270 million budget after its second weekend.
