Jenna Ortega On Why She Dropped Out Of ‘Scream 7’ After Melissa Barrera’s Exit: “It Was All Kind Of Falling Apart”


Jenna Ortega is revealing the real reason she left Scream 7 amid the fallout from Melissa Barrera's firing from the franchise.

In a new interview, the Wednesday star opened up about what led to her exit from the film after her co-star Barrera was cut from the movie following her comments on the Israel-Hamas war. “If Scream VII wasn’t going to be with that team of directors and those people I fell in love with, then it didn’t seem like the right move for me in my career at the time,” she added. Newcomer Isabel May will play Sidney’s daughter, with Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace, Sam Rechner, and Anna Camp also on board in new, undisclosed roles.
