Headline: Melissa Barrera speaks out on Scream firing
Caption: The actress, who played Sam Carpenter in the rebooted horror franchise was fired from Scream VII in November for her continued support of Palestine on social media amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. She has now admitted she was taken aback after her social media comments were seen to be antisemitic. "I'm not the first person that's happened to, but it was shocking. I don't even know what to say. I know that what I said always came from a place of love and a place of humanity and a place of human rights and a place of freedom for people, which shouldn't be controversial.”
