JAKARTA - Melissa Barrera responded to the protests chanted at the premiere of Scream 7. Crowds of people gathered at Paramount Studios to protest "Free Palestine" on Thursday, February 26, US time.
The protest action also took place over Melissa Barrera's removal from the production for revealing her support for Palestine. More than two years since the incident, she responded to the protest.
"I see you," Melissa Barrera wrote in an Instagram Story with a heart emoji.
Launching Deadline, director Kevin Williamson learned of the protest. He responded casually and stated that Americans have the right to comment.
"We live in America. We have the right to protest. They have the right to be heard, and they have the right to speak what is the truth and I support that," said Kevin Williamson.
Spyglass Productions fired Melissa Barrera in November 2023 after the actress posted a post related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. The production house said they had no tolerance for anti-Semitism or hatred in any form.
After Barrera left, actress Jenna Ortega also left the production and said the reason was related to Barrera. Director Christopher Landon also left after feeling the threat given to his children.
Then, Kevin Williamson who wrote the first Scream film is back for this film. Previously he had left Scream VI because he claimed that the salary was not appropriate.
