Actress Susan Sarandon has been dropped by United Talent Agency (UTA), a major Hollywood agency, following her controversial remarks on the Israel-Hamas war during her appearance at a pro-Palestinian rally in New York City on Nov. 17.
While speaking at the event, Sarandon told the demonstrators to have conversations with Jewish Americans, who don’t feel safe due to the rise of antisemitism following the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, according to Variety.
“There are a lot of people that are afraid, that are afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence,” the Academy Award winner said.
Sarandon’s comments drew immediate backlash online. The news of the actress’ representatives firing her also went viral.
