Wow, some serious battle lines are being drawn in Hollywood right now over the Israel-Hamas war. And consequences have transcended the barrier from real-world horror into the fake fun kind of horror.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> dropped the shocking news that\u00a0Melissa Barrera<\/strong> has been FIRED from\u00a0Scream 7<\/em>!<\/p>\n Melissa took the lead in 2022’s reboot Scream<\/em> and this year’s\u00a0Scream 6<\/em> — both HUGE box office hits for\u00a0Spyglass<\/strong> and\u00a0Paramount<\/strong>. And now she’s out on her ass!<\/p>\n THR<\/em> says the surprise twist of the knife comes after the 33-year-old posted negatively on social media about how the Israeli government is handling Gaza. In one Instagram Story<\/strong> post the outlet pointed out, she wrote:<\/p>\n “Gaza is currently being treated like a concentration camp… Cornering everyone together, with no where to go, no electricity no water… People have learnt nothing from our histories. And just like our histories, people are still silently watching it all happen. THIS IS GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING.”<\/p>\n Like many young people getting death threats and other consequences, Melissa has been urging a ceasefire — something that seems pretty objectively reasonable. But any wavering in approval of the Israeli government has been treated by some as antisemitism, a really scary precedent, even for folks who faced Ghostface twice.<\/p>\n
