‘Scream’ Actors Support Fired Co-Star Melissa Barrera at ‘Abigail’ Premiere: ‘It Says a Lot About How True the Love Is’
Melissa Barrera was fired from the "Scream" franchise because producers deemed her social media messages about the Israel-Hamas war as antisemitic.
Several “Scream” actors, including Mason Gooding, David Arquette, Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich, attended the Los Angeles premiere of Barrera’s new horror movie, “Abigail” Wednesday night. Her “Scream 7” role fell apart in November when star Barrera was fired by Spyglass, the film’s producer, because they deemed her social media messages about the Israel-Hamas war as Antisemitic. Then came news that co-star Jenna Ortega wouldn’t return due to a scheduling conflict with the second season of her Netflix series “Wednesday.” About a month later, director Christopher Landon announced he had already exited the film “weeks ago.” Now, franchise creator Kevin Williamson will step behind the camera.
