Neve Campbell Rejoins Scream Franchise Amid Controversy

Neve Campbell is set to reprise her iconic role as Sidney Prescott in the upcoming 'Scream 7', a decision met with controversy following the firing of co-star Melissa Barrera. Barrera was dismissed from the franchise after posting pro-Palestinian sentiments on social media, which included accusations against Israel of genocide and ethnic cleansing, leading to accusations of antisemitism. Despite her disappointment, Barrera expressed respect for Campbell's choice to return, stating, ‘I think everyone makes their choices.’ Campbell has not reached out to Barrera since her firing, and Barrera indicated that she would consider returning to the franchise in the future. The situation has drawn mixed reactions from fans, with some feeling Campbell should have shown solidarity with Barrera. The franchise is hoping Campbell's return will help mitigate the backlash surrounding Barrera's departure.
