Description: Matthew Lillard is publicly apologizing and expressing shame over his decision to rejoin Scream Seven after Melissa Barrera was fired for speaking out on the Middle East conflict — calling it “really f---ing bulls---” and insisting she was “on the right side of history.” He regrets not standing up for her and admits Hollywood largely failed to support her, even as he acknowledges his own complicity. The fallout forced director Christopher Landon and Jenna Ortega to leave, prompting a major reboot that now brings back Neve Campbell and Kevin Williamson to restore the franchise’s original spirit.
