Ex-Barclays chief denies sex with Snow White in Epstein emails

Former Barclays CEO Jes Staley told US lawmakers he did not have sex with a woman dressed as Snow White, addressing transcripts tied to Jeffrey Epstein. The panel highlighted 2010 emails about Disney princesses in which Staley and Epstein exchanged suggestive lines; Staley said any contact was limited to possibly seeing the woman at Epstein’s apartment and prompting an email, not sexual activity. Lawmakers also questioned whether Disney characters were used as code names for encounters. Staley’s Epstein ties have followed him since JPMorgan, and he was banned from UK banking for downplaying those links, a ban he has sought to overturn.

Rachel Zegler's Disney princess remarks ignite controversy over Snow White remake

Resurfaced comments by Rachel Zegler, the star of the upcoming live-action remake of Snow White, have sparked a debate on TikTok. Zegler expressed her distaste for the original storyline and emphasized that the new version would have a different approach, focusing on Snow White becoming a leader rather than being saved by a prince. Some fans accused her of "pseudo feminism," arguing that not every woman wants to be a leader and that falling in love or accepting help does not make a woman any less valuable. While some defended Zegler, others questioned why she would want to make the remake if she disliked the original so much. Zegler has not directly responded to the debate but has called for kindness in her social media posts.
