HuffPost
Barrera, who starred as Sam Carpenter in the slasher franchise, was dropped from the upcoming film after making pro-Palestinian comments.
Melissa Barrera is opening up about her firing from an upcoming “Scream” film following comments that she made about the Israel-Hamas war.
Barrera, who starred as Sam Carpenter in the slasher franchise, spoke with The Associated Press in Utah on Thursday, after Spyglass Media Group — which is producing “Scream 7” — said late last year that it had dropped her over pro-Palestinian remarks that the company suggested were antisemitic.
“Honestly, I think I finally am becoming who I’m supposed to be in life, and the last few months have been a big awakening of that,” said Barrera, who spoke to the outlet at the Sundance Film Festival premiere of her movie “Your Monster.”
“I’m just so grateful for everything that’s happened.”
The actor, in separate comments to Deadline, said that she also felt “grateful on what I got to infuse in the franchise,” adding that it’s something she’ll “be proud of forever.”
