Melissa Barrera speaks of ‘sister' Jenna Ortega following 'Scream' exit

Melissa Barrera is grateful for her sisterly bond with Jenna Ortega.

The pair starred in Scream (2022) and Scream VI (2023) together in which the 33-year-old actress played the role of Sam Carpenter and the Wednesday star portrayed her sister Tara.

However, Melissa was fired by Spyglass, following her comments on the Israel-Palestine war. The production claimed that it has "zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form."

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Mexican actress shared how supportive Jenna was after the unfortunate development.

“We chatted for a while, and I love her so much. She’s been very supportive of me, and we’re sisters for life," Melissa spoke of the 21-year-old actress.

As for her exit from the franchise, she expressed zero remorse in another interview with Rolling Stone as she stated, “I know who I am, and I know that what I said always came from a place of love and a place of humanity and a place of human rights and a place of freedom for people, which shouldn’t be controversial.”
