Actress Anna Camp recently faced backlash for resharing a social media post that appeared to downplay boycotts related to Scream 7. The original post celebrated the film's box office success despite reported calls for boycotts.
Screenshots circulating online showed Camp sharing this message, which included the sentiment that efforts to hinder the film's success had failed. This action prompted significant fan reaction, with many interpreting it as dismissive of concerns surrounding the controversial removal of actress Melissa Barrera from the project in 2023.
In response to the criticism, Camp issued a public apology via social media. She clarified that the reposted story did not align with her personal beliefs and expressed regret for any offense caused, confirming the post had been deleted. Barrera was reportedly removed from Scream 7 after sharing social media content related to the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Camp's costar Jenna Ortega also exited the film, noting that the surrounding controversies had contributed to the project's instability. The original poster of the tweet later claimed responsibility to shield Camp from further criticism.
