She admitted feeling that the plot was too outdated and did not like how prince was a stalker.
Challenging the long-running plot did not go well for Rachel; however, she has a message for everyone who raised questions back in time.
During her interview with Harpers Bazaar, the Shazam! Fury of the Gods star admitted that she would never take her comments back, considering it “a testament to [her] core beliefs as a human.”
Although the Hollywood star insists that her stance will never change, she revealed a lesson she learnt after the incident.
Rachel realised that the “temptation to speak doesn’t always mean that it must be done.”
The actress was of the opinion that she “would have just thrown” her phone away if she knew what was to come afterwards and how it would threat her “safety.”
She added to her statement: “I think any sane person would have.”
Who supported Rachel Zegler?
Her co-stars from Shazam!, Mirren and Liu, cheered her up in this difficult situation as they suggested her ways to “navigate life” as a “woman in this industry.”
