Overview

• Kendrick said she “misspoke,” called her words “abrupt, poorly worded, and offensive,” and stated she fully supports the Jewish community.
• Orlins, who in May published a Substack/Patreon post detailing Kendrick’s conservative Instagram activity, called the video antisemitic and urged CBS to address it.
• Although Kendrick deleted the Instagram clip, excerpts captured by the Daily Mail remain online and have been cited by outlets including People and Entertainment Weekly.
• In the video, Kendrick rejected being labeled a “right‑wing bigot,” referenced a working‑class background, and later said she had been drinking wine when she recorded it.
• CBS has not issued a public comment; Survivor 50 has finished filming and is slated for early 2026, and the franchise has rarely acted on off‑show controversies.
