The controversy began when Zegler publicly expressed her support for Palestine, which sparked a split on social media. While one side of users defended her, the other attacked her, accusing her of contributing to Snow White’s box office failure because of her views. The polarisation was such that many demanded that the actress be punished in some way, questioning her presence at one of the most prestigious social events of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But when Zegler received the invitation to the MET Gala, the voices against her were soon raised. However, her representative clarified that the actress will be busy with rehearsals for Evita in London in May, making it impossible for her to attend. Although she is honoured by the invitation, her schedule is more than full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
