Susan Sarandon’s Hollywood agency, UTA, has dropped her over controversial remarks she made at a recent protest in NYC where there is growing concern over rising antisemitism. Sarandon’s comments about Jews getting a taste of being Muslim in America drew backlash from people accusing her of being insensitive. Others, like Muslim American Asra Nomani, took the opportunity to share their positive experiences in the U.S. and explain how their lives had improved. Amid mounting fury over her remarks, there has also been criticism likening Sarandon’s words to those of Jane Fonda, who also faced backlash for her comments during the Vietnam War. With growing incidents of antisemitism and Islamophobia since recent attacks, Sarandon is yet to respond to the backlash.
