"When asked if she considers the people who agreed to do the movie after she was fired to be 'scabs' who 'crossed the picket line' in protesting the war in Palestine, Barrera responded: 'Oh, one hundred percent. I think they all are. And they have to live with that.'"
"The In The Heights actor added, 'The only way they were able to make that movie after what happened was to nostalgia-bait as much as possible.' She continued by agreeing that Scream 7 'sucked' and stating: 'I know. And I think they lied about the numbers. I don't think it made that much money.'"
Melissa Barrera was dismissed from Scream 7 three years ago by Spyglass over her social media posts supporting Gaza. After her exit and Jenna Ortega's departure, the production brought back original franchise stars including Neve Campbell and Matthew Lillard. Barrera characterized those who joined the film after her firing as 'scabs' who crossed a picket line, stating they relied on nostalgia to make the movie viable. She disputed Paramount and Spyglass's reported box office figures of $97.2 million, claiming the film underperformed and that the numbers were fabricated.
