Hayden Panettiere Supports Melissa Barrera After 'Scream VII' Firing

Panettiere calls Barrera's dismissal over comments on Israel-Hamas war 'unfair', while her own future in the franchise remains uncertain.

Melissa Barrera was fired from the cast of 'Scream VII' in November after making comments in support of Palestine and criticizing Israel's military campaign in Gaza.
Co-star Hayden Panettiere has publicly called Barrera's firing 'very unfair and upsetting', pointing out that many others in the industry made similar statements after Barrera.
Panettiere reached out to Barrera after her dismissal, stating that not many people had asked Barrera how she felt.
Panettiere did not comment on whether she will reprise her role in 'Scream VII'.
Panettiere is set to host a three-city in-person event titled 'A Conversation With Hayden Panettiere' in February.
