I swear I pay attention to industry gossip, and I knew that Disney?s live-action remake of Snow White was beset with various controversies, but I didn?t know that it had gotten THIS bad. How bad? Disney can?t even host a real premiere in Los Angeles, and they can?t have an open red carpet with wide press coverage. Instead, the March 15th premiere will be limited to still photographers, no TV/media outlets and an in-house Disney team trying to put a bow on this catastrophic exercise. Variety listed all of the issues which are plaguing this movie and it?s a lot. This makes Karla Sofia Gascon?s social-media mess look quaint.
Disney is hosting a Hollywood premiere of ?Snow White? on March 15, but the studio won?t be rolling out a robust red carpet like it usually does. The afternoon festivities will include a pre-party and screening at the El Capitan Theatre with titular star Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen, expected to attend. However, the red carpet will not include the dozens of media outlets usually invited by Disney to interview the cast and creatives at its premieres. Instead, coverage will be limited to photographers and a house crew.
The studio did not comment for this story, but the scaled back plans come amid controversies surrounding the Marc Webb-directed film, which hits theaters March 21. Some toxic Disney fans questioned Snow White being played by Zegler when her casting was announced because she is a Latina actor. The ?West Side Story? star also faced backlash when she called the 1937 original ?dated? because the prince ?literally stalks Snow White.?
Peter Dinklage spoke out about the movie?s portrayal of little people for perpetuating negative stereotypes. ?Literally no offense to anything, but I was sort of taken aback,? he said on the ?WTF With Mark Maron? podcast in January 2024. ?They were very proud to cast a Latino actress as Snow White, but you?re still telling the story of ?Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.? Take a step back and look at what you?re doing there.? Shortly following Dinklage?s remarks, Disney said in a statement to ?Good Morning America,? ?To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community.?
World politics have also come into play. Zegler has promoted ?free Palestine? on social media. At the same time, Gadot, who is Israeli, has become an outspoken supporter of Israel on social media as well as in a passionate speech she delivered on March 4 when she was honored at the Anti-Defamation League?s annual summit in New York City. ?Never did I imagine that on the streets of the United States, and different cities around the world, we would see people not condemning Hamas, but celebrating, justifying and cheering on a massacre of Jews,? she said, in part. Gadot has stayed away from politics in the past, but has said she felt she needed to speak up after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.
In February, several dozen pro-Palestine protesters gathered outside the Hollywood premiere of ?Captain America: Brave New World? and called for a boycott of the film over its inclusion of the Israeli superhero Ruth Bat-Seraph, aka Sabra, played by Israeli actress Shira Haas.
MAGA supporters also blasted Zegler for her reaction to Donald Trump?s reelection when she posted on Instagram, in part, ?May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.? She apologized for her remarks two days later.

I knew most of the Zegler stuff white supremacists are mad that a Latina was cast as Snow White, and those same white supremacists are unsurprisingly also pissed that Zegler thinks Donald Trump and his supporters are trash. I also knew about Peter Dinklage?s criticism and I still don?t really understand how Disney thought they could avoid a complete sh-tstorm by making this live-action adaptation and ?keeping? those seven characters. As for a political beef between Gadot and Zegler? Disney made them present together at the Oscars, so both women can make the effort to play nice when it suits them (or when it suits Disney). I strongly suspect that it?s not about the alleged Zegler-Gadot beef I think Disney is limiting the premiere access simply because they don?t want protesters out in force against Gadot specifically, like what happened at the Captain America premiere.

Imagine you?re an actress whos nominated and heavily favored to win at a well-known and highly photographed awards show. What?s the worst that can happen? You lose? The blogs put you on all of the Worst Dressed lists? The back of your dress rips when you win Best Actress? Well, Amanda Seyfried can tell you a good embarrassing award show story. Poor Amanda had an unfortunate wardrobe mishap at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards. While talking and joking around with Glen Powell, Amanda?s gorgeous vintage Dior dress, which had been ?falling apart? all night, fell apart for good. And it wasn?t a minor issue, either. Amanda?s breasts fell right out of that dress, right in front of Glen. Thankfully, Glen proved that chivalry isn?t dead by averting his eyes and quickly helping cover her up.
?My boobs fell out of my dress at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards,? 39-year-old actress [Amanda Seyfried] shares with PEOPLE in this week?s issue while discussing her lead role as Mickey in the new Peacock crime series Long Bright River.
Seyfried took home an award that year for her performance in The Dropout, but along with the trophy came an unexpected wardrobe mishap. ?I was wearing this amazing vintage dress. I made my stylist dress up in it before I went just for fun,? she recalls of the Dior Haute Couture gown.
She adds, ?It was kind of sewn together and it started truly falling apart, literally falling off of me on the red carpet, and I think there were even interviews where I?m saying it?s breaking off.?
It was when she was having a one-on-one conversation with Powell, 36, though, that things took a turn. ?I was talking to Glen Powell in the corner near my table, and we were joking around about something and I lifted my arms up, and my boobs were just out. My dress fell apart,? she shares.
Thankfully, Seyfried was in the company of a true gentleman. ?We both screamed, and like the gentleman he is, he covered me. He didn?t look? I think. None of us were expecting that, but that dress had truly just given up.?
When Seyfried went on stage to accept her award, she had to improvise. ?I ended up wearing someone elses jacket on stage,? she explains. ?Because, well, it would?ve just been my boobs.?

Oh man, that?s so embarrassing and also pretty funny. Thank goodness Glen was so quick-thinking and understanding about it. It?s also cool that he never turned it into one of his go-to interview stories, but has respectfully kept it on the down low. That said, now that Amanda?s spoken about it publicly, I?m so curious to know how Glen will answer when he inevitably gets asked to talk about the incident from his, umm, point of view.
Amanda is right that there is a video of her on the red carpet talking about how the dress kept falling down. She even frustratingly joked that she was going to take it off. Its too bad, because I liked the dress! I actually remember Amanda appearing on stage with that black jacket. At the time, I figured that she was just cold! While having your dress break and boobs pop right out in front of a coworker is certainly embarrassing, it could have been so much worse. Her dress could have freed the girls while onstage accepting her award. That certainly would have made for a memorable night for everyone.
