Anna Camp shared an Instagram Story from the “Scream With Ryan. Show” podcast that made fun of the Scream 7 boycott and said, “The boycott didn’t work.” The critics’ hate didn’t win. The bad leaks didn’t matter. What really worked was people going to see the movie and making it a hit. The post, which was shared over the weekend, talked about the backlash that followed Melissa Barrera’s firing from the franchise in 2023 because of her comments about the Israel-Palestine conflict. It had the audio of Taylor Swift’s “Karma,” which made the taunt toward boycotters even louder.
Camp quickly came under fire from fans for ignoring worries about Barrera’s departure, issues in Palestine, and what some saw as racism in the franchise. Some people wanted her to explain her “personal beliefs” more than just saying sorry. The post was taken down because people were getting angrier on social media sites like X and Instagram.
On March 1 and 2, 2026, Camp wrote on X, “I have realized I repost someone else’s story that does not fit with my own beliefs.” I took down the repost because I didn’t mean to hurt anyone. I’m sorry to anyone who was affected. She stressed that she didn’t mean to hurt anyone and that the repost didn’t show how she felt. This came after reports that Scream 7 was doing well with audiences even though there were problems.
