Matt Walsh Goes Viral After Disney Admits ‘Woke Snow White Remake’ Images Are Real

Daily Wire host Matt Walsh went viral over the weekend after Disney admitted that the images reportedly leaked from the live-action “Snow White” remake are genuine after the company initially appeared to deny it.

Walsh tweeted on Sunday to his 2.3 million followers a headline from A.V. Club, which read, “Disney now says those ‘Snow White’ photos are simply ‘not official.'” And an update posted in the report read, “After initially telling The Daily Beast that the ‘Snow White’ set photos were fake, a spokesperson now says that the photos are in fact from the production, but are not official photos. We regret the error (and, in our mind, they still look pretty fake). The following story has been updated to reflect this fact.'”

“This is pretty hilarious,” Walsh tweeted. “Photos from Disney’s woke ‘Snow White’ remake leaked. They were mocked so heavily that Disney panicked and claimed the pictures were fake. A day later they had to admit that the photos are real just ‘not official.'”

“The Daily Beast called them ‘obviously fake,'” he added. “Turns out that the obviously fake photos are completely real.”

Walsh slammed the first images leaked from the set for the Disney remake, saying it is the most obvious example of “cultural appropriation.” One photo showed a Hispanic lead. Another featured the lead, followed by seven culturally diverse companions.

“Snow White is a 19th century German fairy tale,” Walsh tweeted. “The name literally refers to the character’s skin color.”

The host also retweeted a post from Libs of TikTok that read, “New diverse Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs movie only has 1 dwarf and Snow White is Hispanic. Disney says they want to ‘avoid reinforcing stereotypes.'”

“Disney lost $900 million dollars (sic) on their last 8 releases,” the post added. “Guess they’re not done losing $ yet…”

“Welcome to some of the first images from Disney’s live action remake of Snow White and her DEI Dwarfs,” Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk tweeted. “Snow White is played by a Hispanic actress and there’s only one dwarf and 6 full gown adults.”
