In March 2025, Jonah made headlines for a since-deleted Instagram comment regarding Rachel. An online user wrote to Jonah about a reported meeting between Marc and Rachel regarding her political views and social media during the promotion of Snow White. In response, Jonah acknowledged that his dad, “the producer of enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, had to leave his family to to fly across the country to reprimand his 20-year-old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for.”
Although he didn’t specify which comment of Rachel’s he was referring to, Variety reported that Marc met with Rachel to discuss her since-deleted “f**k Donald Trump” remark and her “free Palestine” comment on social media.
“This is called adult responsibility and accountability. And her actions clearly hurt the film’s box office,” Jonah alleged in his now-deleted Instagram reply. “Free speech does not mean you’re allowed to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions. Tens of thousands of people worked on that film, and she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires at the risk of all the colleagues and crew and blue collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful. Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged.”
At the time of publication, Rachel has not publicly responded to Jonah’s social media comment.
