In October 2024, when Rachel Zegler introduced the first trailer for her Disney movie Snow White, she tweeted to her followers, "and always remember, free Palestine." I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds like she supports establishing a separate Palestinian state.
The results were catastrophic. Costar Gal Gadol, who didn't say it, began to receive death threats, so Disney had to hire extra security. They gave Rachel a social media guru to make sure she didn't post anything else controversial, Producer Marc Platt he flew to New York to reprimand her.
On March 26th, 2025, a few days after the movie bombed on its first weekend, someone tweeted Marc's son Jonah saying that his father's actions were "creepy." Jonah responded with what Vanity Fair called an "unhinged rant."
I read it. He criticizes Rachel for forcing Marc to "leave his family" and fly across the country to attempt damage control. Her "selfish statement" destroyed the box office and jeopardized the livelihoods of the hundreds of people involved in filming: "blue collar workers."
JustJared posted an "OMG, I can't believe he would say that!" Others pointed out that Marc Platt is 67, with grown children, so "leave his family?" And the "blue collar" workers get paid regardless of how much money the movie makes.
A few hours later, Jonah posted nude and aroused photos for his followers. I don't know how that contributes to the dispute, but we'll see them later on. First, who the heck are these people?
Marc Platt, born in 1957, grew up in New York, got a law degree from NYU, and worked as an entertainment lawyer before moving into production. He has produced a number of popular and not-so-popular films, including Legally Blonde, Josie and the Pussycats, Scott Pilgrim vs, the World, Dear Evan Hanson, Better Nate than Ever, Babylon, and Wicked.
He has five children, including:
Ben Platt, top photo and left, has been in a lot of Broadway plays, including Dear Evan Hanson, Camelot, The Book of Mormon, and Gutenberg: The Musical. I've reviewed two of his films, Pitch Perfect and The People We Hate at Weddings.
He came out to his parents at age 12, and married Noah Galvin in 2024.
According to the IMDB, Jonah Platt is "a multi-platform creator and performer whose unique career spans many facets of the entertainment industry." Can we get beyond the buzz words? His Instagram just says "Actor/Jewish Advocate/Dad," and host of the Being Jewish podcast. The posts are all about his guests.
Jonah has two movie roles of interest, but I can't find them on any of my streaming services:
Menorah in the Middle: A woman's father has a heart attack on Hannukah.
The List: Her boyfriend sleeps with a celebrity on his "free pass" list (a list of people your partner agrees to let you sleep with), so a woman gets upset and tries to sleep with someone on her list. But you agreed that it was ok
Jonah's production credits include the upcoming Bookends, about a Jewish guy (Noam Ash) who has to move in with his grandparents after a breakup. I don't know if he's gay or not, but both Noam Ash and next-billed Jared Reinfeld have played gay characters.
Jonah is also a singer. In 2020 the three Platt brothers, Jonah, Ben, and Henry, recorded Ahavat Olam, typically recited during the Maariv, the evening prayers.
Ahavat olam beit Yisra'el amcha ahavta,
Torah umitzvot chukim.
Umishpatim otanu limad'ta.
Eternal love for Your people, House of Israel,
Torah and Mitzvot, laws
and precepts have You taught us.
N*de photos after the break
Let's start with Jonah's backside, in case you're into that.
He whips it out.
Nice balls, dude.
Full arousal.
He doesn't finish. A guy's got to have some secrets.
Update: These photos have vanished from the nude celebrity sites. Maybe they're not of Jonah at all, in spite of the watermark. I did think that nude photos were an unusual response to criticisms of the guy's twitter post.
But who cares? Any day where you get to see a dick is a good day.

ReplyDeleteThanks , I had “weddings”’like 15 times on the two sites . But that way doesn’t make sense . The potential viewer will think “What wedding ? I’m not going to any wedding “
