You might remember: Rachel's casting previously sparked backlash among fans who felt a white actor should play the role. Then criticism erupted again this weekend following a report that the seven dwarfs would be replaced by a group of diverse, magical figures. The report was accompanied by a photo of the alleged group, showing actors of varying statures, races, and genders.

Amid the backlash, Rachel took to Twitter to respond and took a moment to recognize the people who weren't bashing the film online.

Rachel then kindly requested that people avoid tagging her in the "nonsensical discourse" surrounding her casting. “I really, truly do not want to see it," she continued.
