Scream 7 Star Anna Camp Apologises For Controversial Boycott Repost
Scream 7 actor Anna Camp has apologised for resharing a post about the film’s release that she said did not “reflect” her “personal beliefs”.
Shortly after this, the film’s director parted ways with the project, as did Melissa’s co-star Jenna Ortega.
After the film hit cinemas, and it was reported to have made around $100 million in its opening weekend, cast member Anna reshared a post from X on her Instagram page, which read: “The boycott didn’t work, the critics’ hate didn’t work, the pathetic leaks didn’t work.
“What worked was audiences coming out and making the film a success.”
She accompanied this with a blast of Taylor Swift’s Karma.
However, after facing backlash, Anna removed the post and shared an apology.
“It has come to my attention that I reposted someone else’s story that does not reflect my personal beliefs,” the Pitch Perfect star told her X followers. “I have since deleted the repost because I absolutely meant no harm.”
Anna added: “I’m sorry to anyone who was affected.”
