“Wednesday” star’s support of the fired Hollywood actor’s anti-Israel positions

According to the Fars film reporter, Ortega, who announced that he will not act in this film due to Melissa Barrera’s withdrawal from the horror franchise “Scream” due to her views on Israel’s attack on the besieged Gaza Strip, once again from this 33-year-old Mexican star. declared support.

Barrera, who starred in Scream 5 and 6, was recently fired from the seventh installment of the Scream franchise by Spyglass, the film’s producer, due to his pro-Palestinian social media messages.

A screenshot from TMZ shows that Ortega liked a post on an Instagram page that focuses on pro-Palestinian news among celebrities. This post reflected Barra’s words in defense of his views on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

While Ortega’s X (Twitter) account has also been deactivated, some of his old tweets contain comments in support of Palestine.

Although Ortega has not publicly supported Barrera or Palestine, many believe his exit from “Scream” is a way to show his support for the fired Hollywood actor.

Barrera was one of the 200 artists who, in a letter to US President Joe Biden in October, asked him to take a serious step to establish a ceasefire in Gaza. He also criticized Tel Aviv’s attack on the Gaza Strip and wrote that “Gaza is treated like a detention center for prisoners of war.”

Barrera is not the only artist whose statements about the Gaza war have made headlines in recent weeks. Susan Sarandon, who won the best actress Oscar for “Dead Man’s Walking,” has been dropped by talent agency UTA after making comments at a pro-Palestinian rally.

This 77-year-old actor has severely criticized Israel’s policies since the beginning of the Gaza war and described the Zionist regime’s invasion of this besieged area as an example of “ethnic cleansing”.

Maha Dakhil, one of the most prominent directors of the CIA agency, who was under severe pressure due to favoring Palestine, resigned from his high-ranking position last month.

While Hollywood usually takes the same positions on various political issues, the Gaza war, which is approaching its second month, has revealed differences of opinion among the people of American cinema.
