In star-filled Hollywood the idea of rivalry hides kind acts. Rachel Zegler chooses friendship over conflict among women. In her talk with Allure the 23-year-old star of the new Snow White film told of her search for real bonds in a place seen as full of fights.
"I always look for a sister," Zegler said. Her words carry a truth felt by many women in fame. She does not agree that women must battle each other. Instead she hopes for a kinder way for female actors.
Zegler found help from older stars like Jameela Jamil, Helen Mirren, and Lucy Liu. They stand by her as true friends in a hard job. She said, "They have been my keepers," and she thanked them for their kind help.
Yet the news tells a gap exists with co-star Gal Gadot. Reports claim a rift grows from their age gap and different views on politics. Zegler speaks for Palestine in a fierce conflict while Gadot has ties to Israel. This clash makes work harder.
Both actresses meet in public events like the 2025 Oscars. They show a face of unity even when talks hint at coldness. An insider said Disney worries that Zegler’s strong views on the old Snow White film and her politics may hurt the film.
Still, Zegler stands firm in her hope. She believes there is room for every woman. She calls for talking out any fear or fight. Her words ask that each woman stand as a friend instead of a rival.
