JOHN NOLTE: Disney Scapegoats Rachel Zegler for Snow White Debacle.

After Snow White debuted to a devastating $87 million worldwide (break even is around $700 million when this stinker will be lucky to hit $250 million), a bunch of “unnamed” Disney insiders ran to their stenographers at the far-left Variety to pin all the blame on its 23-year-old star.
