A Hollywood agency has reportedly dropped actress Susan Sarandon in the wake of a comment she made at a pro-Palestinian rally.
Sarandon, who had been represented by the agency UTA since 2014, stated at the rally in New York City that Jewish people who are afraid in the wake of Hamas's attack on Israel are "getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim" in the United States. As of Tuesday, she is no longer being represented by UTA, a spokesperson for the agency said.
The Oscar-winning actress's comment had greatly affected several staffers at UTA, according to the report.

Sarandon's comments also kicked up a storm on social media, with Asra Nomani, a Muslim author, rebuking what Sarandon had said, noting that her Muslim parents both lived very free lives in the U.S. She added that she was able to start her own business in 1981, which would have been denied to Muslim women "in so many Muslim countries."
"This is a 'taste' of life for a Muslim family in America," Nomani wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Please don't minimize the experience of Jewish Americans by sanitizing the hell that it is for Muslims living in Muslim countries and vilifying America for the life — and freedoms — she offers Muslims like my family."
Sarandon won her Oscar for best actress in 1995's Dead Man Walking and has been nominated for the category in several other films, including 1981's Atlantic City, 1991's Thelma and Louise, 1992's Lorenzo's Oil, and 1994's The Client. Most recently, she played the villain in 2023's Blue Beetle, which flopped at the box office with a total of $129,288,072.
The only thing that drops faster on Sarandon is when she takes her bra off. (cough cough)
Stupid doesn’t even begin to describe that moron.
“...overpaid mannequin...”
I LOVE that! I usually call actors, ‘trained apes’ and tell them to, ‘shut up and entertain me!’ ;)
And she clearly has no regard for “Innocent Until Proven Guilty”. According to her, that should go the way of the Dinosaurs in favor of “Believe Anyone Who Says They Were Raped”.
I have enjoyed hearing directors call them “talking props”...
Damnit, Janet!! 😁
To me, Sarandon is like Charo — famous for being famous. IOW, I don’t know why she’s famous. I think she was in Little Shop of Horrors. Otherwise, I don’t know what she’s done other than be an (ahem) activist.

I will be seeing a GIF version of that for the rest of the day.
She shacked up for a while with Tim Robbins the star of Shawshank Redemption.

Stupid actresses should only spout professionally prepared lines.
I remember my son going to that….a midnight showing in Boston …

Her character was good in Bull Durham.

Both of them are a pair of screaming rabid liberals.
She’s a known lefty from way back. This story does not surprise me at all. On the Hollywood leftist scale where 10 = Jane Fonda, she’s about an 8.
