Ariana DeBose Accidentally Stumbles into the Rachel Zegler Drama Like a Clueless Tourist

Buy Me A Coffee

Ariana DeBose is setting the record straight: No, she is NOT the drama.

In a plot twist worthy of a Broadway musical, Ariana—known for her West Side Story fame and iconic BAFTA rap—accidentally waded into the alleged feud between Rachel Zegler and the Platt family. And she did it in the most 2025 way possible: by reposting a quote on Instagram without checking its source.

Let’s rewind. Rachel Zegler, the voice of a very opinionated Snow White, starred in Disney’s Snow White, which was produced by Marc Platt. If you don’t know Marc, he’s basically Hollywood royalty, having given us movies like Legally Blonde, La La Land, and Dear Evan Hansen (yes, we are still recovering from that one).

Enter Jonah Platt—Marc’s son, occasional Broadway star, and unexpected Instagram warrior—who went on a social media rant last week, blaming Rachel for the movie’s box office struggles. His mic-drop moment? “Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged.” Oof.

Now, here’s where things get messy. Ariana, scrolling through the endless abyss of Instagram, saw the quote, thought, Wow, deep, and casually shared it on her Story—completely unaware of its spicy origin. The internet, being the internet, immediately pointed out that she had just reposted a low-key jab at her West Side Story co-star.

Cue the frantic deletion.

Ariana, realizing she had unintentionally thrown herself into the middle of the Snow White drama, issued a statement:

“I post quotes all the time and thought this one was meaningful. Will fully cop to the fact I did not do any research on where this quote came from, nor did I know of the connection until it was pointed out to me,” she explained. “I have no intention of inserting myself into a news cycle.” Translation: I did not wake up today expecting to be part of the plot.

She also reassured everyone that this was just a case of bad timing: “This is not the first time I’ve posted about dealing with narcissism and it probably won’t be the last, but next time I’ll be sure to clarify its origins first.” Basically, she’s saying: I just like shady quotes, okay?!

Meanwhile, Jonah Platt—best known for playing Fiyero in Wicked—continues to be the lesser-known Platt sibling. Because let’s be real, no matter how much drama unfolds, the Platt family’s most famous member will always be Ben Platt, aka Evan Hansen himself.

And that, my friends, is how Ariana DeBose accidentally took center stage in a Broadway-level feud she didn’t even audition for.
