Melissa Barrera Opens Up About ‘Scream’ Departure

Melissa Barrera recently opened up about her Scream exit in an interview with The Independent.

“It was quiet for like 10 months,” Barrera told the online magazine about her acting jobs. “I was still getting offers for small things here and there – I’m not going to lie and say there was nothing – but [the message] was, ‘Oh, she probably doesn’t have work, she’ll say yes to anything.’”

As you may recall, the actress was removed from the film franchise in 2023 after her social media posts on Israel and Palestine. Shortly after her removal, fellow actress Jenna Ortega pulled out of the film stating that scheduling conflicts with Wednesday would not allow her to reprise her role in Scream.

Even without Scream, Barrera didn’t miss a beat. She had a major role in Abigail, a film which earned $42.8 million at the box office, and was the lead in Your Monster.

When asked about the differing opinion of Scream fans she went on to say “I think there have always been Scream factions,” Barrera told the publication. “There are always going to be people that love you and people that hate you, and people that are open to a story continuing, and people that think that continuing it is ruining it. If they want to go watch the next one? Cool. If they don’t? Also cool.”

She continued, “You just gotta act according to how you preach. And that depends on what you value, what your morals are, and whether you can separate that from art or not. There are people who can’t listen to R. Kelly anymore, or Michael Jackson, or can’t watch Woody Allen films anymore. And then there are people who don’t care.”
