The Snow White Box Office Disaster
Gal Gadot is officially done playing nice. The actress has finally broken her silence on the catastrophic implosion of Disney's live-action Snow White, and she is not taking the blame lying down. In a shocking new interview that aired on Israeli television, Gadot refused to accept that the movie might have just been bad. Instead, she pointed the finger directly at the global political climate and the "pressure" put on audiences to boycott her work. It is the classic Hollywood pivot: when a movie tanks, blame the haters.
Speaking on The A Talks, Gadot claimed she was "positive" the film was going to be a massive hit before reality came crashing down. She insists that the events of October 7 and the subsequent fallout in Hollywood turned the public against the film before it even hit theaters. It is a bold move to suggest that a Disney fairy tale failed solely because of geopolitics, but Gadot is doubling down. She expressed deep disappointment that the project was "incredibly affected" by the outside noise, effectively washing her hands of the creative failure.
Industry insiders are already whispering that this is a desperate attempt to save face. The film was plagued by bad press long before the release, from leaked set photos to controversial changes to the source material. By framing the flop as a political statement, Gadot is trying to rewrite history and salvage her bankability as a leading lady. But the box office numbers do not lie, and studios are watching closely to see if she is now considered "box office poison."
She is blaming everything except the movie. Maybe people just did not want to see another remake? Stop using politics as a shield for a bad performance.
The Rachel Zegler Feud: Real or PR Spin?
If you thought the drama ended with the box office numbers, think again. Gadot also tried to shut down the rampant rumors that she and co-star Rachel Zegler absolutely despised each other during production. For months, reports have swirled that the set was an icy battlefield, with the two stars barely speaking when the cameras were off. Zegler's controversial comments about the original cartoon had already alienated fans, and sources claimed Gadot was furious about being dragged into the mess.
However, Gadot is now pushing a suspiciously rosy narrative. She claims they "laughed" and "had fun" on set. It sounds like a line fed directly from a crisis management PR team. Hollywood veterans know that when an actress goes out of her way to emphasize how much "fun" she had with a controversial co-star, it usually means the exact opposite. Is this damage control to protect her image as the nice girl of Hollywood, or is she covering up a much nastier on-set reality?
The chemistry—or lack thereof—between the two was palpable during the promotional tour, leading many to believe that the "Evil Queen" dynamic wasn't just acting. Gadot's sudden defense of Zegler feels like a calculated move to distance herself from the "mean girl" allegations that have plagued the production. But fans aren't buying it.
Walking Off the Set of Entourage
In the most explosive revelation of the interview, Gadot dropped a nuclear bomb regarding her time on the hit HBO show Entourage. She revealed that her guest stint in 2009 was a living nightmare, admitting she "hated" every second of it. But she didn't stop there. Gadot alleged that a male figure on set was "inappropriate" with her to the point where she literally quit in the middle of a scene and refused to return.
This is a massive accusation that is going to send shockwaves through the industry. Gadot described a situation where she was targeted by "some guy" until she reached her breaking point. She walked off the set and never looked back. The internet is already ablaze with speculation. Who was the mystery creep? The show was notorious for its "boys' club" atmosphere, and Gadot's story confirms the worst rumors about the toxic environment behind the scenes.
She stopped short of naming names, which has only fueled the fire. Was it a main cast member? A producer? A director? By leaving the identity ambiguous, Gadot has cast a dark cloud over the entire Entourage legacy. This isn't just a bad work story; this is a #MeToo moment that was buried for over a decade. Expect a frenzy of denials from the show's alumni in the coming days as the witch hunt for the "inappropriate" man begins.
Name him Gal! You cannot just drop that and leave us hanging. We all know that show was toxic but we need to know who the predator was.
Terror in London: Targeted and Alone
Gadot also opened up about the terrifying experience of filming her upcoming thriller, The Runner, in the United Kingdom. While she was supposed to be focusing on her craft, she claims she was being hunted by protesters. The actress described feeling "incredibly lonely" and "unsafe" as pro-Palestinian demonstrators allegedly targeted her personally while she was on location. This wasn't just a few people holding signs; Gadot describes a focused attack that left her rattled.
She revealed that her husband and older children were back in Los Angeles, leaving her isolated with her youngest kids and a nanny outside London. The image of Wonder Woman cowering in a hotel room while protesters scream outside is a stark contrast to her on-screen persona. She admitted it was a "difficult" and "unpleasant" experience, further fueling her narrative that the world has turned its back on her.
This revelation raises serious questions about the security measures—or lack thereof—provided by the studio. If a global superstar feels physically threatened while doing her job, who dropped the ball? Gadot's confession paints a picture of a celebrity under siege, unable to move freely without a massive security detail. It is a grim look at her new reality in Hollywood.
Selling Out? The Golden Globes Pin Scandal
Perhaps the most damaging admission came when Gadot addressed the backlash from her own home country regarding the 2025 Golden Globes. Fans were furious when she appeared on the red carpet without the yellow ribbon pin, a symbol of solidarity with Israeli hostages. Gadot's excuse? Corporate greed. She bluntly admitted that "brands" and "collaborations" made the situation "complicated," implying that her contracts prevented her from making a political statement.
This is a PR nightmare. Gadot essentially confessed that she prioritized her endorsement deals over a humanitarian gesture close to her heart. She admitted it "might have been a mistake" and that it "did not feel right to wear the pin for work," but the damage is done. Critics are already labeling her a sellout who values a paycheck over her principles. For an actress who built her brand on being a "proud Israeli," bowing to corporate pressure is a look that might alienate her most loyal fanbase.
It is a rare moment of brutal honesty in Hollywood, exposing the strings that pull even the biggest stars. Gadot is caught between two worlds: the Hollywood machine that demands neutrality to sell products, and her identity which demands advocacy. By trying to please both, she ended up pleasing no one.
So she chose the bag money over the hostages? That is cold. At least she admits it was a mistake but wow that is a bad look.
The Wonder Woman Pay Gap and Medical Scares
As if the career drama wasn't enough, Gadot threw some shade at her Wonder Woman co-star Chris Pine. She lamented that despite being the titular character and the face of the franchise, Pine was paid more than her for the first film. "I was Wonder Woman!" she exclaimed, highlighting the absurdity of the wage gap. It is a valid point, but bringing it up now feels like she is airing every grievance she has ever held onto. Is she bitter about her treatment in the industry?
She also touched on a terrifying health scare from March 2024, revealing she underwent emergency brain surgery. This detail, which she kept relatively quiet until recently, adds another layer to her tumultuous year. Between the surgery, the protests, the flops, and the feuds, Gadot has been through the wringer. But instead of generating sympathy, her barrage of complaints is being viewed by some as a "woe is me" tour.
When asked if she actually thinks she is a good actress, Gadot gave a shockingly humble—or perhaps defeated—answer. She called herself "solid" and admitted others are more talented. It is a bizarre confession for an A-lister. Is she lowering expectations for her future projects? Or is she finally listening to the critics who have panned her acting chops for years?
What happens next?
Gal Gadot is at a crossroads. She is safe in Israel, surrounded by security, but her standing in Hollywood is shakier than ever. She has burned bridges with the Entourage crew, alienated Disney fans with her excuses, and disappointed her supporters at home with her Golden Globes snub.
With The Runner wrapped, all eyes will be on how the studio markets the film. Will they hide Gadot to avoid more protests? And will the mystery man from Entourage be unmasked? The silence from HBO is deafening, but in this town, secrets do not stay buried forever. Gadot has lit the fuse, and we are just waiting for the explosion.
