Former Scream star Melissa Barrera addresses her controversial firing.

Scream 7 star Melissa Barrera addressed her controversial firing from the franchise. Spyglass fired the actress after she made some public comments on the Israel-Hamas conflict. However, Barrera sat down for a profile with The Hollywood Reporter where she walked through the developments of the last few months. The star admits that none of the Scream situation makes her happy, but feels like celebrities have a duty to speak up on issues that affect our world.

When asked about a return to the Scream franchise, the actress has been around long enough to see a lot of projects that were unfathomable come to fruition. So, the door remains slightly open for a return."I've learned to never say never, but also a lot of things would have to happen for Sam to come back," Barrera says."For now, next page, next chapter, and then we'll see what the future holds.

"As a latina, a proud Mexicana, I feel the responsibility of having a platform that allows me the privilege of being heard, and therefore I have tried to use it to raise awareness about issues I care about and to lend my voice to those in need," the actor typed."Every person on this earth- regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or socio-economic status- deserves equal human rights, dignity and, of course, freedom.

Scream Brings Back Neve CampbellAfter Barrera's firing and Jenna Ortega departing the project, the Spyglass team made the decision to bring Neve Campbell back into the fold as Sidney Prescott. Kevin Williamson is directing the film as well. So, it's back to the future for the fan-favorite horror franchise.
