Rachel Zegler shades Ansel Elgort by cropping him out of photo

[poisoned_summer]

Rachel Zegler (20) has made a sly dig at her West Side Story co-star Ansel Elgort, who has been accused of sexual assault.

A fan posted a photo of Rachel in an embrace with Steven Spielberg as Ansel can be seen in the background.

If she left Ansel in the photo people would’ve said something. Now because she didn’t people are saying something. You can never win lol

This way she gets praised for doing something

[poisoned_summer]

she could've just ignored the post and not replied at all

thr gave her a chance to denounce him and she didn't take it. doing shit like this after the fact is just stupid. like what are you trying to prove?

[dreamdate]

It’s not her job or responsibility to denounce or speak on the situation. Literally zero.

I didn't realize Spielberg was so short.

there are definitely videos on her instagram of her pal-ing around with ansel so I'm not really sure what she was trying to get at here. I don't think anyone would have minded if he was in the background of the photo, given that the focus is clearly her and spielberg? and now it just seems like she's drawn more attention to it by cropping him out. oh the youths!!

I literally didn't even notice he was there until I saw her cropped version.

Rookie. 🙄. I’ve been doing this for years. Don’t crop him, put a clown emoji over his face.

People need to stop looking for ways to criticize his female co-stars actions and concentrate on him. 🙄

this reminds me of Lana Candor's situation when her To All the boys costar Israel turned out to be a Trumpie and she keeps getting interviewed left and right about him and what she thinks and it's really unfair that WOC gets the scrutiny to react and react "correctly"

[genbu_no_miko24]

Oh wow I didn’t know about that?! That’s total bull!!

Why should she answer for his antics!
