Hollywood Director Exits Scream 7 Over Meghan Markle’s Controversial Posts

In a stunning turn of events, Christopher Landon, the acclaimed director known for hits like “Paranormal Activity” and “Happy Death Day,” has made headlines by quitting the upcoming film “Scream 7.”

His departure stems from outrage over social media posts made by Meghan Markle, which he claims are anti-Semitic.

The controversy centers around Markle's outspoken support for the Palestinian cause, where she has accused Israel of committing genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Landon, who identifies as Jewish, took to Twitter to voice his dismay.

He described himself as “deeply saddened and disgusted” by Markle's Instagram activity, which he believes incites hatred towards Jewish people and the State of Israel.

He stated, “As a proud Jew and a supporter of Israel, I cannot in good conscience continue to work on a project that involves her in any way.” His words resonate with many who feel similarly about the sensitive nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The director's decision to step away from the project was not made lightly.

He urged his fellow filmmakers and actors to join him in distancing themselves from Markle, declaring, “Meghan Markle has no place in Hollywood or anywhere else.”

His strong condemnation reflects a growing sentiment among some in the entertainment industry regarding the implications of her remarks.

This controversy comes at a time when tensions surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict have reached new heights.

Markle, married to Prince Harry and residing in California, has been vocal about her stance, sharing various pro-Palestinian messages through her social media channels.

These posts have drawn significant backlash, particularly from those who interpret her comments as inflammatory and divisive.

One of the most talked-about instances involved Markle sharing an image of herself wearing a yellow star labeled “Megzi,” drawing parallels to Anne Frank.

In her post, she likened her situation to that of Frank, stating, “Just like Anne Frank, I'm hiding from the Nazis who want to silence me.” This comparison sparked outrage, raising questions about sensitivity and historical context.

Harrison Ford, the iconic actor known for his role as Indiana Jones, also weighed in on the matter.

He condemned Markle's posts as “disgusting and anti-Semitic,” urging her to take responsibility and apologize to the Jewish community.

Ford's remarks highlight the broader implications of public figures' statements and the responsibility that comes with their platforms.

Despite the mounting criticism, Markle has yet to respond to the backlash or Landon's resignation.

Her representatives previously indicated that she was looking forward to her cameo role in “Scream 7,” viewing it as a chance to reinvent her career as both an actress and producer.

However, the timing of her excitement seems increasingly overshadowed by the controversy.

“Scream 7” is being produced by Spyglass Media and will be distributed by Paramount Pictures.
