John Lennon's son, Sean Ono Lennon, has recently opened up about the ongoing Snow White controversy, sharply criticizing Rachel Zegler. Lennon's critical comments come after his earlier supportive statements about her. Now, many are curious to know what he said.
What did Sean Lennon say about Rachel Zegler?
Sean Ono Lennon, the son of Yoko Ono and Beatles legend John Lennon, recently weighed in on the controversy surrounding actress Rachel Zegler amid the Snow White controversy. Though Lennon acknowledged that the backlash against Zegler had been excessive, he didn't hold back his criticism. In a now-deleted post on social media, Lennon described the actress as a "spoiled, ungrateful and disconnected brat.” Notably, he had previously defended Zegler and her co-star Gal Gadot from sexist critiques and called them "exceptionally beautiful women."

Zegler first started controversy in 2022 when she criticized the original Snow White movie. The actress also remarked that her portrayal of Snow White would be more aligned with feminist values than the original 1937 animated classic. She stated that her character was no longer dreaming of "true love" but aspiring to be a leader instead. These comments drew backlash from fans.
The controversy grew Zegler's comments about the 2024 U.S. presidential election. On Instagram, she posted that Trump’s re-election will bring the “four years of hatred." However, she apologized later for her role in "contributing to negative discourse." Despite her efforts to smooth over the situation, Zegler's views and the backlash took a toll on her image.
Sean Lennon is the latest public figure to weigh in on the ongoing Snow White controversy, following earlier remarks by Jonah Platt, the son of the film’s producer. In a detailed post, Platt criticized Rachel Zegler for allegedly mixing her personal political views with the promotion of the movie. Platt pointed out that her actions negatively impacted the film's performance at the box office, calling it a clear case of a lack of “adult responsibility and accountability."
Platt added, "Tens of thousands of people worked on that film and she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires at the risk of all the colleagues and crew and blue collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful. Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged."
