The “Happy Death Day,” “Freaky” and “Drop” director also noted that he initially took a lot of the blame for the actress departure — despite the fact that he was not involved in Spyglass’ decision. In November 2023, Barrera, a vocal political activist, took to Instagram to express support for Palestinian citizens facing what she called “ethnic cleansing” in the wake of Oct. 7, saying, “Gaza is currently being treated like a concentration camp.” Spyglass quickly responded with a statement regarding Barrera’s removal, stating, “We have zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, Holocaust distortion or anything that flagrantly crosses the line into hate speech.” The two characters are twins and the niece/nephew of “Scream” character Randy Meeks (Jamie Kennedy), who died in “Scream 2.” Mindy and Chad round out the “Core Four” reboot characters alongside Barrera and Ortega’s Sam and Tara Carpenter.
