Melissa Barrera Speaks Out on 'Scream' Firing, Being Accused of 'Holocaust Distortion,' & Jenna Ortega Exiting the Franchise After Her

On getting fired

Rolling Stone said to her, “When Spyglass fired you from Scream VII, they accused you of a number of things, including ‘Holocaust distortion.’ I couldn’t find any evidence of this and actually found the opposite. That’s a crazy thing to accuse someone of without evidence. They tried to kill your career.”

She responded, “I’m not the first person that’s happened to, but it was shocking. I don’t even know what to say. I think everything that happened was very transparent, on both sides, and I know who I am, and 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. It shouldn’t be up for debate. So, I’m very at peace. The people who know me in my family know the truth about me and where I stand, and I think most people in the world also do.

On many who are now calling for a ceasefire

She continued, “It’s for the well-being of both sides of that wall, you know? An end to the violence. That’s it. An end to the violence for everyone’s peace and security. Just… humanity.”
