Actress Rachel Zegler is apologizing for her social media tirade against newly elected President Donald Trump and his supporters, who wished they never knew peace.

“I would like to sincerely apologize for the election post I shared on my Instagram last week,” she wrote. “I let my emotions get the better of me. Hatred and anger have pushed us further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry for contributing to the negative discourse.”

She added that it had been an emotional time and that everyone was entitled to their opinion, and vowed to ‘contribute positively to a better future’.

Zegler, who plays Snow White in Disney’s reboot of the classic story, posted a profane attack on Trump and his supporters on Instagram Stories after the election, expressing his disgust at his victory over Kamala Harris and the country for voting for him.

‘SNOW WHITE’ REBOOT STAR RESPONDS TO EXPECTATION ABOUT HER COMMENTS ON THE ORIGINAL 1937 FILM: ‘MADE ME SAD’

‘I find myself speechless in the middle of this. Another four years of hate, leading us into a world I don’t want to live in,” Zegler wrote. “Us leaning into a world where it will be hard to raise my daughter. Us leaning into a world that will force her to have a baby she doesn’t want. Us leaning into a world that is scary.”

She also said the country had a “deep illness” and that it was “scary” how many people supported Trump’s vision for the country. Trump defeated Harris in the Electoral College, capturing all the battleground states, and he is on track to win the national popular vote as well.

Zegler also wrote, “May Trump supporters, Trump voters, and Trump himself never know peace,” and she called on her supporters to abandon X, billionaire Elon Musk’s social media platform.

“F—Donald Trump,” she added.

Zegler’s pointed comments sparked immediate backlash, as well as speculation that it could hurt Disney’s 2025 release of “Snow White.”

Zegler, 23, has never been shy about expressing her opinions and called on voters to support Harris during the campaign or face possible loss of voting rights. Earlier this year, she put “free Palestine” at the end of a post encouraging people to watch “Snow White,” a move that was interpreted by some critics as an attack on her Israeli co-star, Gal Gadot.

Zegler rose to fame playing Maria in the 2021 remake of “West Side Story” and currently plays Juliet in “Romeo and Juliet” on Broadway.
