THR says the surprise twist of the knife comes after the 33-year-old posted negatively on social media about how the Israeli government is handling Gaza. In one Instagram Story post the outlet pointed out, she wrote:
Like many young people getting death threats and other consequences, Melissa has been urging a ceasefire — something that seems pretty objectively reasonable. But any wavering in approval of the Israeli government has been treated by some as antisemitism, a really scary precedent, even for folks who faced Ghostface twice.
Spyglass has yet to comment. We’re mostly curious to see how her co-stars react. Will Jenna Ortega be OK with her protective big sis being canned?
Obviously the franchise in general seems comfortable with pivoting, having rewritten Scream 6 to be the first film without Sidney Campbell after Neve Campbell walked over what she felt was a lowball salary. But she already had such a smaller part in these new movies.
