he doesn’t like his actors speaking out on matters that border on politics. This time, Melissa Barrera, an actress known from the “Scream” series, found out about it. After she posted on social media about the “genocide against the people of Gaza”, she was thanked for participating in subsequent productions. Her post was deemed anti-Semitic and hateful. What exactly did Barrera write?
Melissa Barrera lost her role in “Scream VII” for her post about Israel and Palestine
Melissa Barrera has repeatedly criticized Israeli retaliation against civilians in the Gaza Strip. However, she used words that did not appeal to the production company responsible for the entire “Scream” film series.
Gaza is now a concentration camp. Everyone in one place, no way to escape, no electricity, no water. People have learned nothing from their history. And just like then, people are still silently watching what is happening. THIS IS GENOCIDE AND ETHNIC CLEANSING – wrote Barrera in one of numerous InstStories on Instagram.
In others, she did not hold back and spoke directly about the colonization of Palestinian land by Israel and the one-sided pro-Israel narrative in the media in the United States. Spyglass – the main producer of the “Scream” series – eventually found these statements to be anti-Semitic and hateful. The Hollywood Reporter published the company’s statement.
We proclaim zero tolerance for anti-Semitism and incitement to hatred in any form – including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, the Holocaust or anything that constitutes hate speech – it said.
Barrera said goodbye to the title, which, thanks to her work, has become attractive to viewers again in recent years. But she’s not the only one who has problems because of her views.
