She had already filmed this movie when she opened her mouth far too wide, for someone who should stick to advocating the Mexican/indigenous American plight, and not others'. So, it waits to be seen if her obtuse comments have any affect on the future of her career.
How? She was the only one who said controversial things on twitter nobody else on the cast said brought up anything remotely about Palestine and etc most actors/models stray away from answering things Megan fox got fired from transformers for bringing up controversial things
I met her this past summer at a con she's very nice, sweet kind and generous she gave me a hug. Saw Abigail twice loved it. When I met Melissa, I told her Joey was the better parent to Abigail then her dad was.
im so happy for her for not allowing anyone to censor her & speaking out on an important issue, however, its so sad to see her still struggle with the whole scream thing. its total & complete BS. as an OG scream fan, she & jenna were brining in a new wave that was refreshing to see.
she is stunning, well done to her for standing up against injustice, imagine just being laid off because you stood up against genocide. Scream was only good because of her and Jenna tbh. Yes her new film was brilliant she brilliant actress that a fact, she can make any film look good
Oh my goodness I wasn't expecting the end on who Abigail father was I screamed when I saw him like no way suoer big fan of his😊this movie is a definite must see...
@@CandieP you know that he was actually a vampire in the TV series "A discovery of witches" it's also another great show 😊 that's why I said I screamed when I saw him😅
She was the best to take over for Neve Campbell in such a beloved franchise but they f'd it up when they chose to discard Neve Campbell instead of giving her what she deserved and then they discard their new "It girl"🤦♀️ major fumble
@@rydbthatsmeHave they though? I know hardcore scream fans who have let it go because of this and literaly don’t plan on watching 7 because they know it’s gonna be terrible story wise
the only one who isn't afraid of the hollywood system. it's sad when she isn't allowed to express her perspective and threatened with losing her job and livelihood
Beautiful, talented and an action badass, but most of all a kind woman that wants fighting to stop, James Gunn, that's your DCU Wonder Woman! Esa es mi Reina! Abigail 10/10 awesome film. Te amamos Melissa 🇲🇽🙌❤️
Man! I'm the black sheep of the family (literal melissa's uncle) but my grandchildren looks like Melissa, her hair, and allways i see my grandchildren i think 🤔 wonder woman?
I saw Abigail last Saturday. Pretty great movie if you ask me. Too funny, but one of my favorite horror movie of 2024! Glad to hear that Melissa teamed up with Radio Silence after Scream 5 & 6. I still hate that Paramount & Spyglass fired her for no reasons. They’re so gonna regret that! I DO hope that Melissa Barrera gets cast as the new Wonder Woman in James Gunn’s new DCU films.
“Ready or Not” is in my top five favorite movies, so I had a lot of hype riding on this movie. It met my expectations, didn’t quite clear the bar of “Ready or Not”for me, but still delivered on what I wanted- more ballet-themed horror. This was the first film that I’ve seen Melissa Barrera in, and she acted very well!
I have watched every single scream movie since the original (multiple times) its safe to say I will not be watching the 7th. Such a shame, because Scream was one of my favorite movie franchises.
@@traquanchavis1100 Sydney is old news 😂 I’d like to see the numbers that movie pulls now after that Jenna and Melissa aren’t in it. You know, the actresses young people follow these days.
speaking out and protesting the genocide of the Palestinian people was very brave and honorable. She is Mexican and there is no reason for her to be "antisemitic" people in fact 40,000 jews live in Mexico and A female jew might be the president of Mexico soon. As a Mexican I support her stance on the inhumanity occuring in Israel.
In fact, she descends from don Diego de Montemayor, Luis Carbajal y de la cueva and Alberto del canto, they married with jewish woman, Monterrey was founded for jews, the colony where her grandfather lives when i was a kid has a synagogue (i sometimes Buy in the kosher butchery) her grandfather was my father, but i'm the black sheep 😢
I am really starting to question the Scream teams management. They first completely disregarded Neve Campbell’s demands after carrying a franchise for years. Then they fire people for taking a strong political stance. Super shady.
She is a very very good actress I actually like her a lot in Vida And she did a great job in Scream 5 and 6 It really was a mistake on her part commenting on the war going on in the Middle East, a lot of us are unsure what to feel or properly say about it It’s an example of how to tread lightly when it comes to these kind of things
Not a mistake, I’d say Melissa opened the door for celebs to start standing up to the censorship of anything cause now months later people are far more open about sharing the same opinion 😊
Abigail was great!!! Melissa, scream will not be the same!! Us true fans were looking forward to the next film and I know I am happy that the drama didn't stop your bag!!
Swan lake was the song for the opening of the 1931 version of Dracula with Bela Lugosi. In a way it’s a tribute to the movie that started it all even though it can be argued that hunchback of notre dam or phantom of the opera were beginnings. It’s also a hint that more is to come after this movie.
As much as i like Scream, it's good to know the dudes who made it are still into horror. I was worried about the soured departure potentially stopping them from making more movies. Abigail made me smile and was a surprisingly delightful watch.
I'm glad she's able to move on, I liked her in 6, but you also have to understand putting your views out on a public forum that not everyone agrees with and could cause backlash isn't a good look for your employer. No different than any other job and more people should realize that. I think she thought maybe she was invincible and learned the hard way she wasn't.
I just saw her in the two recent Scream requels and she was amazing. She did not deserve to be dropped from the franchise because of her views. I’m glad she’s still found success.
Hope she finds success despite the nonsense over her comments. Ridiculous you aren’t allowed to have your own opinion and if you do, you get punished for it. On a side note, why do they always have to bring up race? They obviously chose her to do the role, doubt they cared if she was Latina , white, black blue or whatever. She’s great in every role I’ve seen her in so far and her being Latina has nothing to do with it.
Another lovely latina from Mexico. Gosh I wish I had a girlfriend beautiful just like her. Wow, she and Eiza are comfortable in their homes in Hollywood.
A blast of a movie. Funny...gory... thrilling. There was one sequence with an unusual needle drop in this movie which is so inspired. Top scene of any movie I have seen this year.
she doesn’t need scream to be a horror icon !! i hope she gets so many more projects !
She's horrible
Yeah, she won't.
@@bryans_cultno, you’re just a clown buddy
@@bryans_cultsure troll
@whoknows6918 Says the gen Melissa is trash.
She spoke out for the Palestinian people and their ethnic cleansing. Im so so happy she has found success despite being cancelled
She wasn’t cancelled, just fired. She will continue doing well
Great,beautiful,amazing actress.
All of us have to be careful what to say these days
It’s easy to step on toes
@@user-dr2yz8um3dThen let people be in their feelings, you can't be afraid to speak your mind because folks feel some type of way about it.
She had already filmed this movie when she opened her mouth far too wide, for someone who should stick to advocating the Mexican/indigenous American plight, and not others'. So, it waits to be seen if her obtuse comments have any affect on the future of her career.
Melissa was 100% right, and even if she wasn’t, should never have been fired for expressing her views. This movie looks good!
Couldn't have said it better myself 😊
Her dismissal from scream was so unfair
How? She was the only one who said controversial things on twitter nobody else on the cast said brought up anything remotely about Palestine and etc most actors/models stray away from answering things Megan fox got fired from transformers for bringing up controversial things
@@hehasnolips1371how about all the Jewish actors who spoke up in defense for Israel, they all got to keep their jobs. Talk about biased behavior!
What did she say that was controversial?
@@drewhaase4590 she basically called for a cease fire on the people of Gaza and spoke for the freedom of Palestine from the Israeli occupation.
Paramount should have thought about their decision before making that ridiculous choice.
Abigail is a 10/10 fun horror movie. I adore Melissa and I will always support her and follow her work! Love from the UK
I met her this past summer at a con she's very nice, sweet kind and generous she gave me a hug. Saw Abigail twice loved it. When I met Melissa, I told her Joey was the better parent to Abigail then her dad was.
Abigail is a really good movie. Highly recommend!
I just saw it. Went in blind, and throughly enjoyed it 😊
Agreed! Watched it twice in theaters and had a blast!
Yeah it was a good time sorta movie. Sorta stupid but fun as heck.
Very good movie. The little girl was outstanding.
Rip Angus Cloud💕
Amazing and underrated actor.
tf does he have to do with this?
@@egem8u he’s in the movie, no need to be rude
Yes, rip 🩵
Rip Mackelmore
She is a versatile actor; she can play many roles. I hope she's get nominated for an Emmy or an Oscar.
No she's been blacklisted. What an idiot. No one asked for her opinion. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I need her back in Scream. Her departure was censorship.
Scream 5 and 6 will be Stab movies…. She never was a character
@@finalGirl1397She was.
@@finalGirl1397 I'm pretty sure that's not the concept of the next movie. That's literally the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
"Departure" - u mean fired cos of speaking up for Palestine, new age McCarthyism
Good riddance this isn't Melissa's Franchise it's Neve's And Court's...Wes and Kevin made these movies FOR THEM
This movie was so good. Always on Melissa's side.
Melissa Barrera is a horror icon!! I highly recommend Abigail. It was so much fun! I loved all the stunts and effects.
She is so brave..it's take courage to spoke the truth ...now that's a 💎 in Hollywood..u don't see that often....congrat Melissa...🎉🎉🎉
Her grandpa a Man of few words but Concise, her uncle runs in Nascar, and i? 😢 The black sheep (her grandpa was my father
Such a class act . I hope nothing but the best for her 🇲🇽✨🤌🏼
I can’t wait to see Abagail because of Melissa. She’s amazing
she's an icon, she is the moment. I stand with Melissa
I'm glad she has this "I said what I said" attitude. Scream didnt deserve her just like scream doesnt deserve neve campbell
Right?? I hate when celebs back down. But this girl is a superhero and fearless
Beautiful actress: inside and out
👍🏾
I agree I met her. She's very nice.

Justice for Melissa Barrera
Play stupid games win stupid prizes…
Melissa Barrera is The Greatest
Next to jenna ortega ofc
Yes Indeed
She is one of the new generation’s Scream Queens
Well said Melissa, sticking by your ground. Just incredible!!!
One of the best and real actresses of the era
Abigail was soooo good! Melissa really did that! I can't wait to see more of her projects
This seen like a rather good movie to watch.
Great film, Melissa is amazing!

To be honest every sane person who knows her should support her in my opinion...
No
Unfortunately there’s a large number of brain dead people who think collective punishment is OK
She has a right to her opinion.
Thank you for not being afraid to speak up! We love you, Melissa! Scream is not worth watching if you’re not in it!!!
😂scream was around before she was even born stop it

I am in love with this woman
She's very beautiful, and she sis a great job
RIP Angus Cloud & she was AMAZING in Abigail. 🦾
I love her. Something with her eyes. It is always fit with victim and also a final survivor in horor movie
No One Deserves To Lose A Former Career From The Scream Franchise, Not Even Melissa Barrera
She is a very very good actress
I actually like her a lot in Vida
And she did a great job in Scream 5 and 6
It really was a mistake on her part commenting on the war going on in the Middle East, a lot of us are unsure what to feel or properly say about it
It’s an example of how to tread lightly when it comes to these kind of things
So now actors aren’t allowed to have a voice in things?
How is it a mistake? She’s right, and has been for months.
Standing up for what's right is never a mistake
Not a mistake, I’d say Melissa opened the door for celebs to start standing up to the censorship of anything cause now months later people are far more open about sharing the same opinion 😊
Abigail was great!!! Melissa, scream will not be the same!! Us true fans were looking forward to the next film and I know I am happy that the drama didn't stop your bag!!
I saw Abigail on opening day and I think Melissa will be just fine. She was absolutely brilliant in it. Spyglass made a huge mistake letting her go.
Swan lake was the song for the opening of the 1931 version of Dracula with Bela Lugosi. In a way it’s a tribute to the movie that started it all even though it can be argued that hunchback of notre dam or phantom of the opera were beginnings. It’s also a hint that more is to come after this movie.
Scream was so good with the two actors in it I’m really hoping things change cause I only really watched cause of them
As Latinos - we need to support movies that Melissa is in 🤗
Agree 100 percent
Yes!❤ hopefully I can go tomorrow to the cinema 🇨🇦🇲🇽
I love this movie
Speaking out against Israel is not antisemitism. This is ridiculous.
Te amoooo 🇲🇽
we love you melissa and we will miss you sam!
This is refreshing. You get tired of only seeing Caucasian and black actors. Latinas are so beautiful. There’s not enough of them.
She is the light in our dark world
As much as i like Scream, it's good to know the dudes who made it are still into horror. I was worried about the soured departure potentially stopping them from making more movies. Abigail made me smile and was a surprisingly delightful watch.
It was so good !!!!
I love her
I love ❤ mellisa barrera
Wait so the universal monster-verse is a thing again?…even more excited 🫶🏾
She is officially a final girl with this film, Scream doesn’t deserve her
Love her
Gram entrevista. Muy buenas preguntas ❤
Melissa has more class than Spyglass will ever have. They know they effed up by firing her.
Abigail was amazing! 10/10!
I love this movie!
Melissa thank you for being a voice for the voiceless. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Abigail was way better then the last 2 scream and Melissa and the entire cast were so good
Great Movie and Cast
Firing her was a horrible PR move for SpyGlass. I’ll never watch another one of their movies.
Spyglass screwed up big for firing her.
this woman risked her career to speak out against the Zionist's attack on Palestine. I admire her so much for that
Yes
I love her for speaking up 👍I will support anything she is in :)
I'm glad she's able to move on, I liked her in 6, but you also have to understand putting your views out on a public forum that not everyone agrees with and could cause backlash isn't a good look for your employer. No different than any other job and more people should realize that. I think she thought maybe she was invincible and learned the hard way she wasn't.
Except what she said shouldn't have gotten her fired??
Maybe we can talk about how Spyglass didn't talk to her or let her clarify anything and tried to blacklist her instead?
I just saw her in the two recent Scream requels and she was amazing. She did not deserve to be dropped from the franchise because of her views. I’m glad she’s still found success.
Is it on demand yet
Beautiful lady ❤️😘
I’m genuinely confused why people can’t say genocide is bad and condemn the killings from BOTH SIDES.
Are there 30k dead bodies on both sides?
Its very very hard not supporting the scream franchise anymore
Hope she finds success despite the nonsense over her comments. Ridiculous you aren’t allowed to have your own opinion and if you do, you get punished for it.
On a side note, why do they always have to bring up race? They obviously chose her to do the role, doubt they cared if she was Latina , white, black blue or whatever. She’s great in every role I’ve seen her in so far and her being Latina has nothing to do with it.
I did not realize they were still trying to do the Univiersal Monster Universe. 😭😭
The way spy glasses fire melissa is like pretty unfair but we hope she got more projects to come a
So cool!
