After Gal Gadot brought up the pressure in Hollywood to speak out against Israel, she clarified that wasn’t the only reason for Snow White‘s box office flop.

Following her appearance on the Israeli talk show The A Talks, in which she said the Disney live-action remake “was greatly affected” by discourse around her and Rachel Zegler‘s opposing stances on the Israel-Hamas war.

“I was honored to join an extraordinary interview with inspiring interviewers, whose questions go straight to the heart,” wrote Gadot Sunday on her Instagram Story.

“Sometimes we respond to questions from an emotional place. When the film came out, I felt that those who are against Israel criticized me in a very personal, almost visceral way. They saw me first and foremost as an Israeli, not as an actress. That’s the perspective I spoke from when I answered the question.”

Gadot continued, “Of course, the film didn’t fail solely because of external pressures. There are many factors that determine why a film succeeds or fails, and success is never guaranteed.”

On The A Talks, the actress noted she “really enjoyed filming this movie,” adding: “I even enjoyed working with Rachel Zegler. We laughed, we talked and it was fun. I was sure that this movie was going to be a huge success.”

“And then October 7 happened, and what’s happening in all kinds of industries, and also in Hollywood, is that there’s a lot of pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel,” she said, adding that she “”an always explain and try to give people in the world context about what’s happening and what the reality is here, but in the end, people decide for themselves. I was disappointed that the movie was greatly affected by that and didn’t do well at the box office.”

Gadot, who was born in Israel and served in the IDF, has previously expressed her support for Israel, sparking pro-Palestine protests at her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in March. Her and Zegler’s opposing public stances also recently plagued the release of Disney’s Snow White, to the tune of a $115 million loss.
