Melissa Barrera addresses Ed Sheeran’s tour openers dropping out in solidarity with Macklemore and recalls being fired from Scream 7:
“It was so beautiful to see.. It made me emotional. When it happened to me, I didn’t have any of that. It was too soon. People were too scared.”
Let’s not forget this beautiful girl, Melissa Barrera, either. ❤️
She was fired from Scream 7 in 2023 over comments she made in support of Palestine’s freedom.
dua lipa, zara larsson, melissa barrera and now macklemore. .. they are constantly trying to silence palestine supporters. enough is enough. FUCK ISRAEL and FREE PALESTINE!! 🇵🇸
Matthew Lillard says he is embarrassed to have returned for ‘SCREAM 7’ after Spyglass fired Melissa Barrera for speaking out about the genocide in Palestine.
“It’s really fucking bullshit, really hard and she’s on the right side of history… I’m embarrassed, that’s the truth, I blew that. I’m on the wrong side of history for that. I still like being in the movie [but] it may not have been the best idea.”

Since everyone is talking about singers who support Palestine, let’s go send that love to Melissa Barrera as well, she was one of the first people to speak out about Gaza and got sadly blacklisted
The way she tried so hard to laugh it off and continue singing at the start and then she couldn’t stop giggling for the rest of the performance 😭😭😭 “MOREEE!!! 👹👹👹”
Melissa Barrera is still one of the bravest people I’ve seen industry. She was the only one I know who actually said it as it was at the time, and continues to do so
