California Disneyland’s Bad Queen performs on stage and is scolded by tourists as “You’re so evil”_1

A viral TikTok video has captured a heated encounter between a couple and a Disney character, the Evil Queen, at Disneyland California. The footage, created by TikTok user Serena Moran, shows the couple shouting at the actor portraying the Evil Queen, claiming she played the role “too well,” prompting a dramatic exchange that has since garnered over 6.5 million views.

In a 26-second clip shared by Moran, a woman poses for a picture with a character dressed as Snow White. However, the real action unfolds in the background, where the Evil Queen is embroiled in a confrontation with the couple, who are pushing a stroller. As Moran zooms in, viewers can see the husband angrily berating the Evil Queen, saying, “You’re not the Evil Queen, you’re just an ugly witch.” The Evil Queen retaliates, questioning how he could call her ugly and suggesting he should run her over with the stroller.

According to reports, the verbal exchange escalates, with the husband accusing the Evil Queen of being rude and unattractive. In an attempt to diffuse the situation, the actress playing Snow White steps in, takes the Evil Queen’s hand, and retorts, “You two are the real ugly ones,” before leading her away.

Moran’s caption for the video pointed out the absurdity of the couple getting angry at a Disney character for being “evil,” noting that it’s all part of the entertainment. The video has sparked widespread discussion online, with many praising the Evil Queen for staying in character despite the couple’s antics. Comments ranged from suggestions that viewers who can’t handle theatrical performances at Disney should reconsider their visit, to humorous remarks about the couple needing a refresher on Disney lore before heading to the park.

One observer emphasized the inherent role-playing of the actors, stating that it’s difficult to understand why someone would argue with an actor committed to portraying a villain. Others joked that the Evil Queen must feel pretty defeated being confronted by her favorite nemesis, Snow White. The incident clearly highlights both the passion of Disney fans and the theatrical magic that characters bring to the park.
