Actress Melissa Barrera, the star of the "Scream" movie franchise, was fired by Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum's Spyglass Media Group for "floating an antisemitic trope that Jews control the media" by claiming that "Western media only shows the [Israeli] side" of the war.
From Variety, "A Fired 'Scream' Star, Clients Booted From Agencies and a Secret Tom Cruise Meeting: Inside Hollywood's Divide Over Israel": Spyglass quietly dropped Melissa Barrera as the star of the next "Scream" film, sources say, due to her social media posts that referred to Israel as a "colonized" land and floated an antisemitic trope that Jews control the media, writing: "Western media only shows the [Israeli] side. Why do they do that, I will let you deduce for yourself."They sure proved her wrong! Susan Sarandon was also dropped by United Talent Agency for speaking out against Israel.
Variety has more on the freak-out that's going on in Hollywood right now: Four days after the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks in Israel, WME invited Steve Leder, the rabbi from Wilshire Boulevard Temple, to visit the agency's Beverly Hills headquarters. He came to provide comfort for employees reeling after the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Although the event was not mandatory and Leder's speech was considered secular, several staffers voiced complaints, which made their way to WME co-chairmen Richard Weitz and Christian Muirhead. Instead of caving, WME invited Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt to speak to the agency on Nov. 1. Greenblatt didn't mince words, according to those in attendance, calling out the Writers Guild of America for refusing to issue a statement after the Hamas attacks.The firing of Barrera actually shows there's zero room for any criticism of Israel whatsoever. Creative Artists Agency, who represented anti-white activists Saira Rao and Regina Jackson for their lectures on "white privilege," dropped both for "denouncing Israel's genocide in Palestine."
From Variety: CAA, too, has been more willing to cut ties over problematic social media missives. The agency fired assistant Jouman (Jasmine) Barakat over her posts that called all Israelis white supremacists and mocked a post from the country's official handle that stated, "Even Israelis Deserve to Live" by calling it a "fascist regime."They were fine paying these people to bash whitey but as soon as they criticized Jews and Israel they lost their jobs. What did Elon Musk say again about Jews pushing hatred against whites?
