Actress Jenna Ortega has exited the Scream franchise – reportedly due to a conflicting filming schedule with Wednesday, Netflix’s smash hit. Publications are denying that this has anything to do with the firing of Ortega’s on-screen sister Melissa Barrera over her pro-Palestine comments.

Ortega and Barrera played Tara and Sam Carpenter in Scream V and Scream VI, and were set to reprise their roles in the seventh installment of the film.

Barrera’s firing was announced over ‘anti-Semitic’ comments she made. “Our stance is unequivocally clear: We have zero tolerance for anti-Semitism or the incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, Holocaust distortion or anything that flagrantly crosses the line into hate speech,” the production company said in a statement.

The company claims she made anti-Semitic posts when she referred to Israel as a “colonised land” and repeated an anti-Semitic trope when she posted “Western media only shows the [Israeli] side. Why do they do that, I will let you deduce for yourself.” Though some publications are claiming Ortega’s exit has nothing to do with Barrera’s firing, the news breaking a day after has left the internet speculating, especially when coupled with the pair sharing similar views on Palestine.
