Rising star Rachel Zegler, known for her powerful performances, recently shared her raw and unfiltered thoughts about President-elect Donald Trump on Instagram, expressing her strong disapproval following his electoral victory.
The drama unfolded when a user on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) shared screenshots of Zegler's candid Instagram stories about Trump. She posted a lengthy response to the re-election of Trump and the “four years of hatred” he would bring about in America.
She wrote about a “deep, deep sickness” in the US and said she was terrified to see how many people still support someone who “threatens our democracy”. She also echoed a recent statement made by the singer Ethel Cain, writing: “May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.”
Zegler ended the statement, writing: “Fuck Donald Trump.”
After backlash within conservative corners of the internet, Zegler released a new statement, writing that she wanted to “sincerely apologize” for what had been said.
“Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse,” she wrote in an Instagram story. “This week has been emotional for so many of us, but I firmly believe that everyone has the right to their opinion, even when it differs from my own. I am committed to contributing positively towards a better tomorrow.”
