Melissa Barrera has purportedly been removed from her role in Scream VII following Instagram posts addressing the Israel-Hamas conflict. The 33-year-old Mexican actress, recognized for her appearances in the franchise’s fifth and sixth films, reportedly faced termination over posts perceived as anti-Semitic. Sources indicate that her dismissal was triggered by a specific post featuring an antisemitic trope implying Jewish control of the media. Spyglass Media, the film’s production company, stressed a strict policy against antisemitism and hate speech, citing Barrera’s breach of these principles. While there has been no official response from Barrera’s representatives, the situation parallels Susan Sarandon’s reported departure from talent agency UTA due to remarks made at a pro-Palestine rally on November 17.
