Is there trouble brewing in the Disney kingdom? It sure looks like it!
Fans are buzzing with speculation that Rachel Zegler, the lead actress in Disney’s live-action remake of Snow White, might be throwing shade at her co-star, Gal Gadot. And the evidence? A major social media snub that has everyone talking.
Do you think Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot are truly feuding, or is this all just a big misunderstanding? Let’s break down the tea!
Rachel Zegler, the 23-year-old actress who snagged the iconic role of Snow White, recently shared a series of emotional Instagram posts celebrating her experience working on the Disney remake.
Describing the project as “life-changing,” Rachel gushed about how she grew as a person over the course of filming, which spanned three summers.
“I became a real adult during the course of this film—learned hard lessons, did hard things, laughed, cried, turned 21, lived across the ocean from my family, made new friends, and completely fell in love with this group of people I got to work with,” Rachel wrote, sounding every bit the Disney princess.
But something was missing. Or rather, someone. Rachel made sure to shower love on everyone from director Marc Webb to camera operators, choreographers, and even her co-stars Dujonna Gift and Andrew Burnap. Yet, when it came to her biggest co-star, Gal Gadot, there was… nothing.

Fans were quick to point out the noticeable omission. After all, Gal Gadot isn’t just some background character—she’s playing the Evil Queen! In Hollywood, when someone gets left out of a celebratory post, it’s usually not by accident.
According to sources cited by People magazine, the two actresses reportedly have “nothing in common.” The alleged tension stems from their significant age difference and clashing political views.
Gal Gadot, an Israeli actress who previously served in her country’s defense forces, has publicly supported Israel, while Rachel Zegler has been an outspoken supporter of Palestine.
The pair presented together at the 2025 Oscars on March 2 and attended the Los Angeles premiere of Snow White on March 15. However, insiders say the film’s press events have been scaled back, with no interviews given at the premiere. Sounds suspicious, right?
Naturally, the internet couldn’t resist weighing in.
One X (formerly Twitter) user noted, “Disney is having a hard time trying to debunk the Rachel Zegler-Gal Gadot feud because Rachel posted 19 photos on Instagram thanking her co-stars for helping her grow during the 4-year process, but she didn’t mention or post any photos of Gal.”
Another fan commented, “Rachel seems to have gone out of her way to avoid mentioning Gal. It’s either intentional or the biggest oversight ever.”
While some believe Rachel intentionally snubbed Gal, others think there could be a simpler explanation.
Maybe Rachel just wanted to focus on the crew members she bonded with over those long summers. Or maybe—just maybe—she’s saving a special post for her villainous co-star.
Still, her emotional words about the project in a March 17 Instagram video shared by Disney seem sincere.
“This is a movie that is so close to my heart,” she said. “I auditioned for this movie when I was 19 years old, and I am about to turn 24. So it’s a really big chunk of my life and about five of the seven years of my career, which is crazy. I love everybody in this movie so dearly.”
But it’s hard not to notice the name missing from that heartfelt speech.
So, is there an actual rift between Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, or is the internet just running wild with speculation? That’s the million-dollar question.

Neither actress has directly addressed the rumors, which has only made fans even more curious. In Hollywood, silence can mean a lot of things—maybe they’re keeping things private, maybe there’s a contract preventing them from speaking, or maybe there’s truly no issue at all.
Still, the lack of joint interviews, the scaled-back press tour, and Rachel’s decision to leave Gal out of her Instagram tributes have left fans suspicious.
At promotional events, Rachel and Gal have appeared cordial, even posing together at the 2025 Oscars and the Snow White premiere. But some fans argue that their body language seems a bit distant.
Others believe Disney might be carefully managing their public interactions to keep the focus on the film rather than any potential off-screen drama.
The silence from both actresses is only adding fuel to the fire.
Are they simply ignoring the chatter to avoid unnecessary drama, or is there something deeper brewing behind the scenes? If there’s truly tension, it may become more apparent as Snow White gets closer to its official release.
For now, fans will be watching their every move—on social media, at events, and in any future interviews. If one of them eventually breaks their silence, we might finally get some answers.
So, what do you think? Is this feud real, or is it all just social media hype? Until more details emerge, the Disney drama remains just as intriguing as the fairytale itself.
