Rachel Zegler issued an apology for her anti-Donald Trump post.
The actress wrote via Instagram Stories Friday that she let her “emotions get the best of” her when she posted about the presidential election the previous day.
“Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding,” the “Snow White” star added in the lengthy statement Thursday.
“I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse,” she continued. “This week has been emotional for so many of us, but I firmly believe that everyone has a right to their own opinion, even when it differs from my own.
“I am committed to contributing positively toward a better tomorrow,” Zegler concluded.
The singer sparked backlash — and public calls for Disney to fire her from the live-action “Snow White” film — for her reaction to Trump, 78, beating Kamala Harris.
Zegler posted a lengthy Instagram post wishing that the “Celebrity Apprentice” alum and his supporters “never know peace.”
The message, in part, read, “another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world i do not want to live in. … i am heartbroken for my friends who awoke [in] fear this morning. and i am here with you. to cry, to yell, to hug. to wax poetic on how the left continues to fail us in forging a new path forward.”
She noted that “this loss should not have been” — especially by “so many votes.”
In a separate post, Zegler wrote about the “deep, deep sickness” in the United States, slamming Trump voters for their “foolish subscription to a false sense of security, of masculinity, of intelligence, of patriotism, and of humanity.”
She wrote, “It is terrifying the number of people who stand behind what this man preaches.”
