Part 3/16:

Simultaneously, rumors circulated that Disney would remove Snow White from the parks altogether, a claim debunked by insiders clarifying that the firing of a single actress over policy violations did not translate into a character removal. However, reports of the Evil Queen being portrayed by a biological male in park performances have surfaced, prompting further controversy. A father at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge noted that the performer’s deep, male-voiced portrayal and tall stature clearly indicated a male. The parent expressed displeasure over the choice, considering it inappropriate especially for children, and pushed for management to address his concerns. Disney’s response seemed dismissive, denying any issue with the gender presentation but still fueling debate over representation, tradition, and cultural values.
