Fact Check: No, Russian Bots Didn’t Cause Snow White to Bomb at the Box Office
A viral screenshot making the rounds on March 21, 2025, claimed Vogue published a piece titled: “Disney Confirms Russian Troll Farms At Heart of Bad Snow White Opening Weekend.” It looked legit. It named an author, Abraham Kohen. It even had the Vogue layout. But here’s the thing: it’s 100% fake. There is no such article. It never existed.
The Claim and the Clickbait
The image started circulating just days after Disney’s Snow White remake opened to a lukewarm $43 million domestic debut. According to the viral post, Vogue ran a story accusing Russian troll farms of tanking the movie’s box office. Some folks ran with it. After all, the movie’s been in the culture war crosshairs for months, so blaming foreign interference probably didn’t seem that wild.
But the screenshot? Fabricated. And the author, Abraham Kohen? Doesn’t exist in Vogue‘s contributor list.
