Susan Sarandon Dropped by Talent Agency After Remarks on Gaza War

Two actresses, one an Academy Award-winning veteran and the other a relative newcomer, have been dropped by Hollywood companies after comments they separately made about the Israel-Hamas war drew criticism.

Susan Sarandon, a five-time Oscar nominee and one-time winner (for best actress, in 1995’s “Dead Man Walking”), was dropped by United Talent Agency after making comments at a pro-Palestinian rally last week. An agency spokesman, Richard Siklos, confirmed Tuesday that the agency no longer represented Sarandon but declined to elaborate.

Efforts to reach Sarandon for comment were not immediately successful.

That doesn't make me cry.
Sarandon was also a big supporter of Scientology.
Nowadays there's hardly anything to find about it on the WWW. 🤘🏼

Over the years it has seemed like she has had people from every side of the isla lash out at her for her views/positions on various things.

[–] TimeTunnel (4769) a year ago

Scientology is a little more than "various things". ☻
Sarandon called Germany "Nazis" when we refused to recognize Scientology as a church.
Btw. not the only occasion she expressed her "views/positions" in that way.

Well clearly, she gives 0 fucks about her comments nor does she care to be reached out to.. In her mind, she's got more than enough $$$$$ along with her husband, even if that means falling off the radar at this point and pretty much retire

Good for her!!! She is pro Palestine.

So is Susan's favorite Kremlin-supported presidential candidate, Jill Stein.

Susan Sarandon is a talented actress, but also a self-righteous snob who lacks all common sense.

How do you know?

[–] xanthas (3215) a year ago

I've heard her speak.

How can you NOT think Jews control the media/government when more than 50% of them live in the US, particularly in New York of all places. They have lots of power and influence where Wall Street resides.

Jews are 2.4% of the US population.

[–] Rorikon (17855) a year ago

Yes but make up 51% of the Jews in total. What other diaspora has most of their group in another land (other than the Brits which then became Americans after the civil war)?

She's a wacko, good on her for finally putting the last nail in the coffin of her middling career.

She's done.

[–] retieredactor (937) a year ago

Its insane how they cancel, de-platform, blacklist and attack anyone that is pro Palestine.
2,4% with 99% of the power.

[–] ElSofoqueReturns (715) a year ago

I mean Angelina Joile has been very vocal in favor of Palestine and I don't think she has been cancelled.

[–] xanthas (3215) a year ago

That's not true. It's the way Susan Sarandon comes across that is the problem. She lacks diplomacy.

[–] HarlemEagle42 (17735) a year ago

She just apologized for it too.

Supporting terrorists has consequences.
