Social networks ensure that we are in one of the most controversial times to issue an opinion, since freedom of expression could be more controlled than ever, to such an extent that it could cost you your job.
It not only happens with people who are canceled through social networks, it also happens in the world of celebrities, when some of them lose their jobs due to some kind of stance on some socio-political issue or situation, as it would have happened to the protagonist of Scream, but apparently, Jenna Ortega, her co-star would not be either.
Some say it is a matter of solidarity, others indicate that it is because she has scheduling problems with the Wednesday series, the reality is that there is already a movement on the Internet where justice is demanded for the actress who is the new protagonist of the Meta-Horror saga. Let’s remember that Melissa Barrera left the cast after making some negative comments about the Israeli-Palestinian war. In this situation, many people have shown their position on the matter indicating that it was an injustice.
According to Slash Film, she was “quietly” fired for her publications in support of Palestine. According to these media sources, she is not being criticized for requesting the truce, but for making comments that could be anti-Semitic.
After Melissa’s problems, Jenna Ortega will not participate in part seven, according to Deadline, but this is still a rumor, since neither of the two actresses has said anything about it, much less is known if Melissa will be offered the job again or if she will pronounce herself before something soon to know what happened and what will happen with her work.
What do you think about this? Do you think Melissa should have been fired? Do you think Jenna Ortega should resign from the project?
