The entertainment world has witnessed a new controversy that involves two young Hollywood stars, Bella Ramsey and Rachel Zegler, who recently gathered to address the cyber harassment they have faced. Both actresses, known for their papers inThe Last of UsySnow White, respectively, they expressed their deep sadness for the mockery and malicious criticisms that have flooded social networks, especially after the professional setbacks that have marked their careers in 2025. In a bold movement, Ramsey and Zegler have agreed to take legal measures against any individual or organization that attacks them deliberately, marking a precedent in the fight against cyberbullying in the entertainment industry.
Bella Ramsey, 21, became an icon after her interpretation of Ellie in the seriesThe Last of UsHBO. However, its appearance, its diagnosis of autism and its non -binary identity has made it the target of toxic comments online. According to an article by Moviejones, Ramsey deactivated his social media accounts in April 2025 to protect his mental health, after facing criticism for not matching the image of Ellie of the video game. For its part, Rachel Zegler, 23, has been the subject of a hate campaign since her casting as Snow White in the Live-Action version of Disney, released in March 2025. The film, which raised only 143.1 million dollars compared to a budget of 350 million, according to Vanity Fair, was a commercial failure, and Zegler was indicated as the person responsible for her political of 1937.
The meeting between Ramsey and Zegler, reported by sources close to both in X, occurred in a context of mutual support. Both actresses shared similar experiences of racist and misogynist harassment, with Zegler facing criticism for their Latin inheritance and Ramsey for their gender identity. In a post in X of May 23, 2025, a user highlighted how actresses who express progressive opinions, such as support for Palestine, are systematically attacked online. During their encounter, Ramsey and Zegler discussed how cyberbullying not only affects their emotional well -being, but also their careers, with rumors that Zegler was vetoed by Disney and other studies, according to Skj Bollywood News. Determined not to remain silent, they agreed to take legal actions against those who perpetuate deliberate teasing or defamations.
Zegler’s case has been particularly media. His comments from 2022, where he described the blue prince of “stalker” and the original ofSnow WhiteAs “outdated”, they unleashed a wave of criticism. His tweet from 2024, “Free Palestine,” generated 8.8 million visits and caused producer Marc Platt to fly to New York to ask him to eliminate him, according to Variety. Zegler remained firm, but after the failure of the film, Disney hired a social networks expert to supervise his publications. In addition, Jonah Platt, son of the producer, publicly accused her of narcissism, stating that her actions damaged the box office ofSnow White. Ramsey, meanwhile, has faced similar scrutiny, with Trolls in X questioning her appearance and authenticity such as Ellie, which led her to limit her online presence.
Ramsey and Zegler’s decision to sue those who defame them marks a turning point. Inspired by cases such as Gina Carano, who demanded Disney for unjustified dismissal after controversial comments, both actresses are exploring legal options against individuals and means that have attacked them. According to a YouTube report on April 28, 2025, Zegler filed a claim of 100 million dollars against the creators ofSouth Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, for an episode that ridiculed it. Although there is no official confirmation of a joint demand with Ramsey, Fuentes suggest that both are working with lawyers to address systematic harassment, citing laws against defamation and cyberbullying in the United States.
This movement has generated mixed reactions. Some fans, such as critic David Ehrlich, applaud their courage, while others, according to Daily Mail, accuse them of seeking attention. The entertainment industry faces a dilemma: how to protect its stars from onxication online without restricting their freedom of expression. Figures like Pedro Pascal, who called Zegler an “icon” on Instagram, have shown support, although they also faced criticism for it. Meanwhile, Ramsey prepares for the second season ofThe Last of Us, which opens on April 13, and Zegler will starEvitaIn London in June. Both are determined not to let hatred define their careers.
The case of Ramsey and Zegler highlights a broader problem in Hollywood: the normalization of harassment towards young actresses, especially minorities. His alliance to combat this phenomenon could inspire others to raise their voice. While the world observes, these two stars show that they are not only victims, but fighters willing to change the rules of the game in an industry that often punishes authenticity.
