‘Scream’ actress Melissa Barrera joins disruptive anti-Israel rally at Sundance
NY Post
PARK CITY, Utah — An anti-Israel march that included booted “Scream’’ actress Melissa Barrera interrupted the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday, holding up traffic as Hollywood elite attended movie premieres and parties nearby.
Barrera, 33 — who appeared in “Scream VI” but was fired from the seventh “Scream” film over her controversial remarks on the war — joined the hourslong protest midway through as it choked the city’s historic main street and delayed festival-goers making their way to and from events.
Barrera was let go from the horror flick in November after posting on Instagram, “Gaza is currently being treated like a concentration camp… THIS IS GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING.”
She stars in the new Sundance film “Your Monster.”
The group of about 100 “Let Gaza Live” protesters chanted “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” and “We are tired of funding Israel! Shame on Israel!” while clutching signs that read “Butcher Biden,” “De-platform Zionism” and “Intifada Everywhere.”
One crowd chant seemed to approve of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on an Israel music festival, where 1,200 people, mainly Israeli civilians, were killed and several hundred more taken hostage.
