Zegler was in a fortunate position but let her politics, personal opinions, and ego-driven comments cost producers millions by coming off as egotistical and politically charged. Thousands can sing and act just as well — she is replaceable like anyone else. Despite Disney's requests to temper her discourse, she made immature, selfish choices that directly hurt the film’s opening weekend. Rather than promoting a movie that helped shape Disney’s legacy, she demeaned it and insulted her co-star’s homeland. Her off-the-cuff remarks have made her a liability, not an asset, and others just as capable will seem like a safer, smarter choice moving forward.
