Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Rachel Zegler 'felt unsafe in her skin' amid online backlash
Caption: Rachel Zegler 'felt unsafe in her skin' amid online backlash. The West Side Story actress, who is Latina, first experienced backlash when she was cast as Snow White in Disney's live-action movie and she came under fire earlier this year when she revealed that her film would be more feminist and less "dated" than the animated original. Zegler, 22, revealed how the online hate made her feel as she reflected on the highs and lows of her year in a thread on X/Twitter on Sunday. ”Starting to have that 'thank god this year is almost over' feeling. That being said i am also extremely reflective of all that's happened this year.” “I don't photograph the bad moments because duh but look at these precious memories. i gave a dog a home. people got me birthday cakes at work. i wore pretty dresses. the love of my life was there.” "I navigated what it felt like to feel unsafe in my skin because of what the world had to say about who i am. but those moments - when i shut myself inside my apartment for the summer - were the ones where i felt the most love from the people (and puppies) that count.” In her thread, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes star highlighted the movies she has made this year, the co-stars that have become friends, and her relationship with fellow actor Josh Andrés Rivera. ”Anyways. it's good. love is good. i choose love. i hope you do, too.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
