Actress Sabrina Von B. spent eight years portraying the iconic Evil Queen at Disneyland, finding internet fame for her snarky personality. But her time at the park has officially come to an end after Disney fired her to "protect the magic."
"With Disney, it is a bit scary because they want to protect the magic, and in the comments, people were trying to get my identity," she told People about her internet fame. "It is scary because Disney wants to protect the magic, and I'll say that I protected the magic all the way until the end, and I never came out publicly and said like, 'This is me,' or anything until they ultimately let me go. That's when I spoke out publicly on it."

Von B. amassed nearly half a million TikTok followers before revealing her identity. Many began to point out similarities between the actress and the Disney villain, questioning if they were one and the same.
Despite being fired from the beloved role, Von B. has fond memories of her time as the villain.
"It was a dream getting to do my own spin on a character that really wasn't popular or viral or well-known before videos of me really started going around. I read a lot of comments about people saying they would've never loved this character, but now it is their favorite character," she told the outlet. "That really was an honor to be able to bring a Disney villain to life, and also not be evil, but put a more comical spin on it and create joy for people and make people smile, all while being a villain, was very rewarding."
