Rachel Zegler, the star of Snow White, recently opened up about her struggles to find supportive women in Hollywood. In an interview, she shared that what she is always looking for in the entertainment industry is a “sister,” but that these supportive connections are not always easy to find. Zegler emphasized her belief in championing fellow women, whether or not they are close friends, stating, “I really do believe in championing your co-workers.”

This statement may have struck a chord, particularly given rumored tension between Zegler and her Snow White co-star, Gal Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen in the film. Sources suggest the friction between the two may stem from political differences, though Zegler did not directly mention Gadot in a recent cover story for Allure. Instead, she highlighted her strong circle of women, which includes Wicked star Ariana Grande. Zegler shared that Grande reached out to her “out of the blue,” offering support with the words, “If you need anything, I am here.”

This revelation of a close-knit support system may raise eyebrows considering Zegler’s absence earlier in the day when Gadot received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. While Gadot’s ceremony was full of celebration, with the actress surrounded by her husband Yaron and their four daughters, Zegler’s absence was noticeable. Despite ongoing political protests near the ceremony, Gadot’s spirits remained high, and she posed for pictures with her family.

In a speech at the event, Gadot expressed gratitude for the honor, reflecting on her journey and saying, “Whenever my success grew, I always got pregnant; I needed to ground myself.” Despite the protests outside, which were linked to the ongoing controversy surrounding her support of pro-Israel stances, Gadot maintained her composure and continued to celebrate the achievement.

With just three days left until Snow White hits theaters, Gadot has been notably absent from promoting the film. She refrained from giving interviews during the Walk of Fame event, which many speculate could be a calculated move by Disney to avoid any further controversies surrounding her. There has been significant backlash against Snow White, largely due to Zegler’s casting as the lead and other political tensions involving the film’s cast.

In contrast, Gadot’s Fast & Furious co-star, Vin Diesel, spoke highly of her during a recent interview, calling her “an incredible woman” who possesses a “beautiful dance of strength and empathy.” Diesel went on to explain that the qualities Gadot brings to her roles are exactly what creatives in the industry seek—an ideal blend of strength and compassion.

As the release of Snow White draws nearer, the tension between Zegler and Gadot continues to be a topic of discussion, and it remains to be seen how these dynamics will affect the film’s reception. Despite the controversies, Zegler and Gadot are both poised to make a lasting impact in Hollywood, though their paths seem to be diverging in increasingly noticeable ways.
