Melissa Barrera has addressed her departure from Scream VII, emphasizing her condemnation of antisemitism and hate while expressing her commitment to using her platform for justice.
Spyglass, the film’s production company, dropped Barrera earlier in the week. She has been vocal about advocating for peace and human rights, particularly concerning the Israel-Hamas conflict, leading to her removal from the movie.
Barrera’s co-star, Jenna Ortega, also announced her departure from the film, citing scheduling conflicts.
The situation involves Barrera’s social media posts condemning actions in the Israel-Hamas conflict, leading to Spyglass taking a firm stance against hate speech.
