Jenna Ortega has left “Scream VII,” a day after Spyglass Media Group fired co-star Melissa Barrera from the latest installment in the horror film franchise due to her social media posts about the Israel-Hamas conflict.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ortega’s departure has nothing to do with Barrera’s dismissal. Spyglass was informed by Ortega’s representatives prior to the actors’ strike that the “Wednesday” star would not be returning for another “Scream” film.
According to multiple sources, Ortega either did not have a deal or asked for too much money when renegotiating her option. On Wednesday afternoon, Barrera posted her first response to her departure from “Scream VII” on Instagram Stories, saying she will “continue to speak” for those, who need.
