The 23-year-old actress issued the groveling apology on her Instagram late Thursday — days after she wished Trump supporters would “never know peace.”
“I let my emotions get the best of me,” Zegler wrote to her 2.3 million followers on Instagram.
“Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse.”
“This week has been emotional for so many of us but I firmly believe that everyone has the right to their opinion, even when it differs from my own,” she continued.
“I am committed to contributing positively toward a better tomorrow.”
The young starlet, who plays Snow White in the upcoming live-action reboot, sparked fury after she took to social media to slam Trump supporters following his election win.
“I find myself speechless in the midst of this,” she had written in an Instagram Story ironically attacking others for hate.
“Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in. Leaning us towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in.
“There is a deep sickness in this country … shown in the sheer amount of people who showed up for this man who threatens our democracy,” the Gen-Z star continued.
“May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.”
The backlash against her was swift with many threatening to boycott Disney.
Conservative firebrand Megyn Kelly even went as far as calling the actor a “pig” as she slammed the star’s poorly articulated political takes.
“Hello, Disney! You’re gonna have to redo your film again, because this woman is a pig,” Kelly fumed during her SiriusXM show Thursday.
Conservative firebrand Megyn Kelly even went as far as calling the actor a “pig” as she slammed the star’s poorly articulated political takes.
“You fired Gina Carano for far less than this nonsense,” Kelly said, referring to Disney firing Carano from “The Mandalorian” in 2021 for comparing the treatment of conservatives in contemporary America to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany.
