Controversy surrounds Susan Sarandon and Melissa Barrera, with Sarandon dropped by United Talent Agency and Barrera removed from the upcoming Scream sequel due to perceived anti-Semitic comments during a pro-Palestine rally.
Sarandon’s call for a cease-fire and comments comparing the experiences of Jews and Muslims drew criticism, leading to her no longer being a UTA client.
Barrera, advocating for a Gaza cease-fire, faced consequences from Spyglass, the production company behind her films, for posts labeled as falsely referencing genocide and perpetuating anti-Semitic tropes.
The situation highlights the ongoing tensions amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.
