Matthew Lillard Says 'I Feel Ashamed' for Acting in 'Scream 7' After Melissa Barrera Got Fired: 'I Blew That. I'm on the Wrong Side of History'

Matthew Lillard feels "ashamed" for starring in this year's "Scream 7" after Melissa Barrera was fired from the franchise due to social media posts criticizing Israel amid the war in Gaza. Lillard starred in Wes Craven's original "Scream" in 1996 as Stu Macher. He reprised the role in "Scream 7," which opened in theaters in February and became the highest-grossing entry in the series with $214 million.
