And here's Spyglass Media Group explaining why they fired Melissa Barrera: 👇

"FALSE REFERENCES TO GENOCIDE AND ETHNIC CLEANSING"

Let's be clear here... she wasn't fired for making an antisemite comment.

Mel Gibson was even more obvious with the whole "Jews control the media" narrative. And yet he has had no problem getting work in Hollywood.

No, Barrera was fired for accusing Israel of commiting genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Which Spyglass considers to be completely false.

Last October, Maha Dakhil, a prominent CAA talent agency agent, was forced to step down from leadership roles after she dared to criticize Israel's war crimes in Gaza.

Guess who was among the powerful Hollywood big-wigs leading the charge to get her to resign from CAA? Gary Barber, the CEO of Spyglass Media Group.

Even more proof that this has nothing to do with antisemitism is that Hollywood big wheels are now trying to go after writer/director Boots Riley, for voicing similar views as Melissa's. Boots Riley is Jewish.

BTW, Jenna Ortega is Pro-Palestine as well...

As a result of that Tweet, Ortega was quickly tagged as an antisemite & a HAMAS supporter by The Times of Israel.

It REALLY becomes harder to combat actual antisemitism when people who dare to criticize Israel's war crimes get quickly branded as antisemites for doing so.

So you have a ridiculous situation where celebs who openly hate Israel's government are tagged as antisemites. Placing their careers in peril.

While people who openly spread antisemitism, such as Elon Musk, they rarely face any consequences - see attached Tweets below where Musk promotes the White Supremacist "great replacement theory" that claims that Jews want to destroy the white race/Western Civilization. His dog whistles are not subtle at all.

Despite his antisemitic tweets, Musk received praise by the Anti-Defamation League because the so-called champion of "free speech" threatened to ban anyone that called for the decolonization of Palestine.

So apparently, the real antisemites are the people that dare to criticize Israel. Not the people who actually hate jews. It's f*cked up.

Anyway, Spyglass has made their move. Let's see if it pays off.

Jenna Ortega confirms that she will not return for SCREAM 7

Due to conflicting shooting schedules with her other lead show WEDNESDAY according to Deadline

It is possible that the Melissa Barrera firing was the icing on the cake since Ortega’s character [Tara] was more than likely going to be killed off.

Thanksgiving (dir. Eli Roth).

Nothing could possibly ever live up to that original 2007 Grindhouse fake trailer, so it was wise Roth didn't even try by going ahead and crafting a rather straight-ahead contemporary, holiday-themed teen slasher thriller. There's just enough schlocky style and Turkey Day bloody, gory violence to entertain audiences.

Big Brain Tin Foil Hat Moment

This is based on nothing but vibes, cynicism, and pure speculation of people I don’t know and contracts I’ve never seen.

Spyglass, Ortega, and Barrera are all in a PR viral campaign.

Ortega wants to get out of the Scream franchise bc she’s a big star and has better and more profitable things to do. She doesn’t want to pay the penalty for breach of contract to walk away.

Spyglass doesn’t want to do the movie without her and keep Barrera, because they know while Barrera is the main character, she’s not the star. She’s not the draw that Ortega is, at bottom. They don’t want to pay Barrera the penalty for breach of contract by dropping her in order to create a new storyline.

Barrera doesn’t want to lose face by being overshadowed by Ortega’s absence. I think if they went on to make the movie with her, Ortega’s more insufferable fans would flood the comments with “It’s not the same without our Queen, Jenna,” “It would have been better with Jenna,” and variations thereof. I think Ortega’s absence would overshadow the movie itself. The trolls would also point out that while Barrera is the star, her opportunities have not manifested in the way Ortega’s have.

So, what happens in order to save and recoup money as much as everyone can? They create a scandal.

Ortega doesn’t confirm or deny her official reason for leaving, or the timing of the decision. Each side gets to claim her on their side because all they have is speculation and their own bias. She gets to walk away without penalty.

Spyglass creates a reason to drop Barrera without having to pay her a penalty for breach of contract.

Barrera gets to save face by not having to face the embarrassment of a flop third movie or comparisons to Ortega, and is perceived as the victim of unfair treatment. Will Barrera get different opportunities in light of this treatment in solidarity or because she’s had a lot of PR? To be seen. This is completely anecdotal and please remember I’m only on Tumblr, Reddit, and have Google, but so far I’ve seen more support for Barrera than not. At the very least, her name is trending and her star is rising. As a casual observer, I didn’t even know her name, I only knew she was Ortega’s sister in the Scream franchise. Now I know her name.

So far, Barrera has contested that her remarks were anti-Semitic, but I haven’t seen anything contesting the firing itself.

The Scream franchise gets tons of coverage for an otherwise drawn-out storyline IMO.

Further, tons of people are commenting, creating fan profiles, and hashtags of #JusticeForMelissa are on all the social media platforms. There are people commenting for and against the decision at every opportunity. There is speculation of what Ortega’s true part in it is. There is speculation of who will be replacing the sisters’ characters. A bunch of other actors have been named and are trending.

Know what all this engagement means? Tons of views and traffic for social media. How does social media make money? Advertisements. Who sees advertisements? All the pissed off people commenting on the scandal.

Know how else social media makes money? By selling your data. What happens when you’re on social media at all hours of the day, ranting about what happened? You’re creating more data to sell.

The algorithm doesn’t care if you’re for or against the decision. It only knows views and engagement.

How many people are going to “hate watch” the next Scream movie so they can write about how much they hate it? Even if you’re trashing the movie, they still get paid.

How many have shared and reblogged links to news and gossip sites? All of those sites have ads that generate money with every visit.

Whether you like it or not, you are generating money by being online, sharing, and commenting. Hate comments and shares make just as much money as any other.

There is no true boycott when your attention is monetized.

*mic drop* 🤯🤯🤯

If they can come up with a reasonable explanation for Sam's absence, then I will still watch Scream 7. I don't even care. How are you people so hypocritical that you think firing Gina Carano for her opinions a few years ago was okay, but firing Melissa Barrera isn't? Lmfao. Tbh, firing people over their opinions isn't okay, period, regardless of how you feel about their opinions. But if it's okay to do it to one side, it should absolutely be okay to do it to the other. OR we could all be fucking adults, realize everyone has opinions we're not always going to agree with, & let them keep their jobs. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanksgiving

'Thanksgiving' di Eli Roth è uno slasher che non lascia prigionieri! 😱 Con una trama avvincente ambientata a Plymouth durante il Ringraziamento, questo film porta il genere ad un nuovo livello di paura e adrenalina. #ThanksgivingMovie #Horror #Slasher

Thanksgiving – Sangue e tradizione a Plymouth Eli Roth è un regista interessante e allo stesso tempo scostante, ma con “Thanksgiving” da vita a uno slasher riuscito che può contare su una sana dose di violenza, un sottile sottotesto politico da cui si svincola velocemente, ma soprattutto su di un assassino mascherato capace di ritagliarsi il giusto spazio nei cuori degli appassionati. Roth che è…

Rumors are circulating that Jenna Ortega may be ending her contract with the SCREAM franchise in line with the abrupt firing of franchise lead Melissa Barrera.

Nothing is confirmed yet but it’s highly doubtful that the SCREAM franchise continues if Jenna Ortega proceeds with departing.
