The world premiere of Scream 7 was interrupted by activists gathered outside the Paramount Studios lot in Los Angeles, protesting the film’s controversial firing of Melissa Barrera over Instagram posts that were deemed antisemitic by the film’s production company.
As the cast of the slasher franchise’s new movie walked the red carpet Wednesday, a very different scene was unfolding outside the venue. A group of protesters walked the studio lot’s sidewalks shouting pro-Palestine chants, banging on drums and holding signs.
