Susan Sarandon sacked by Hollywood agency for attending pro-Palestine rally

Academy Award–winning actress Susan Sarandon was fired by a Hollywood agency for allegedly making anti-Semitic comments during a rally supporting Palestine in New York.

This comes in response to her controversial statement against American-Jewish community after saying that after saying that frightened Jews are “getting a taste of how it feels to be Muslim in America.”

According to reports, United Talent Agency found her strong opinion and way of expressing her view on the Israel-Hamas war extremely disturbing and thus decided to cut ties with her.

The 77-year-old actress has come under fire for a recent heated speech. Her statements, which she made following the October 7 Hamas attack, have come under heavy criticism.

On November 17, Sarandon spoke out in favor of protesters conversing with Jewish Americans at a pro-Palestinian event in New York City. She expressed concerns about the rise in antisemitic incidents and the protesters’ apparent lack of security.

“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,” she said.

Susan Sarandon is well known for her parts in popular movies like Thelma & Louise and her Oscar-winning performance in Dead Man Walking.

The top star has been connected to UTA since 2014. She has been with her representative agency for a long time, but the agency has decided to break things off.

Susan also appeared for a DC Spin off Blue Beetle this year. The movie came out to be a box office debacle. The actress still has a few films in her catalog, some of which have already completed post-production.
