'Scream' star regrets sequel return after actress's anti-Israel comments
Actor Matthew Lillard expressed regret for returning to the "Scream" franchise after actress Melissa Barrera was fired for sharing social media posts criticizing Israel’s actions in Gaza. Barrera was removed following posts accusing Israel of genocide and ethnic cleansing, which were viewed as antisemitic by the production company. Lillard defended Barrera’s position during a recent screening, stating she was on the "right side of history," and criticized the lack of public support she received. Despite the controversy, "Scream 7" was released and became the highest-grossing film in its franchise.
