Melissa Barrera on 'Scream' Firing: 'I'm Finally Becoming Who I'm Supposed to Be'

The actress is reflecting on her controversial firing from the 'Scream' franchise with good grace.

@creetureshowIn the wake of her firing, Barrera, 33, posted a statement to her Instagram Story, saying she vehemently denounces antisemitism and hate in all forms but that she will continue to use her platform to call out injustice as she sees it in the world. She continued in her message, writing: "As a Latina, a proud Mexicana, I feel the responsibility of having a platform that allows me the privilege of being heard, and therefore I have tried to use it to raise awareness about issues I care about and to lend my voice to those in need." Barrera shared photos on Instagram featuring Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Liana Liberato, Tony Revolori, Skeet Ulrich and Jack Quaid.
