Jonah Platt, the son of Snow White (2025) producer Marc Platt, has been making headlines for blaming the musical’s star Rachel Zegler for the film’s disappointing box office performance.

Jonah came for the West Side Story star in a since-deleted Instagram comment regarding her social media activity after she wrote, “And always remember, free Palestine,” and criticized President Donald Trump. According to an explosive Variety report, Marc flew out to meet with Zegler to convince her to delete the social media post about Palestine, which she refused to do. The outlet claims Disney later hired a “social media guru” to vet her accounts.

“My dad, the producer of (an) enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, had to leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand his 20 year old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for,” Jonah wrote in the since-deleted comment, per a separate Variety report.

He added, “This is called adult responsibility and accountability. And her actions clearly hurt the film’s box office,” then continued, “Free speech does not meant you’re allowed to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions.”

“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,” he wrote. “Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged.”

But, who is Jonah Platt? Not only is his father a major Hollywood producer, but his brother is Dear Evan Hansen star Ben Platt, and he does his own acting, as well.

He starred in Being the Ricardos and previously had small unnamed roles in Parenthood, Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Office. His most recent role included a small part in Universal Basic Guys. He is also the host of the Being Jewish podcast.

For some, Jonah’s comment coupled with Variety‘s report highlights the growing theory that Disney is attempting to blame Zegler for the film flopping in the box office. Since its premiere last week, Snow White has earned $92.6 million in the box office against its rumored $270 million budget.

But Zegler’s shining career shows she’s a major draw for audiences. Since making her debut in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, the 23-year-old actress has mainly led blockbusters, including Shazam! Fury of the Gods and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
