Melissa Barrera Removed from 'Scream VII' Over Social Media Posts on Israel-Hamas Conflict

Broke On: Wednesday, 22 November 2023 Melissa Barrera was removed from 'Scream VII' due to her social media posts on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Barrera's posts, which included a reference to Gaza being treated like a concentration camp, were seen as crossing the line. The actress's removal was not a planned storytelling choice, leaving the sequel without its leading lady. This incident follows a trend of Hollywood celebrities speaking out about the Israel-Hamas conflict, with Susan Sarandon also being dropped by her talent agency, UTA, for her comments at a pro-Palestinian rally.
