Following Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, Zegler, 23, sent a scathing message on her Instagram stories, expressing her hope that "trump supporters and trump voters and trump himself never know peace."

She also spoke about "a deep, deep sickness in this country that is shown in the sheer amount of people who showed up for this man who threatens our democracy," calling it a "foolish subscription to a false sense of security, of masculinity, of intelligence, of patriotism and of humanity."

"There is no help, no counsel, in any of them," she added of Trump's supporters. Elsewhere in her post, the West Side Story star also slammed Elon Musk, while urging her followers to "get off" his app.

At the end of her post, Zegler made her feelings even more clear, writing simply, "f--k donald trump."

Following the actress' series of posts about the election results, some critics online accused her of taking things too far by seemingly wishing "misfortune" on voters who support the president-elect.

Others accused Zegler of putting the new Disney movie at risk, with many users suggesting that people who disagree with her politics or were offended by her statements could be less likely to head to theaters to see Snow White.

"Snow White straight to Disney+," one user on X (formerly Twitter) predicted.

"That movie is destined to flop," someone else added.

Another user called out Disney directly, writing in a tweet, "@Disney what a representation of your company and a lovely character like Snow White."
