Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon issued an apology on Friday for her polemic, antisemitic comments made during a pro-Palestinian rally in New York City last month.
The incident led to her separation from top Hollywood talent agency UTA.
Sarandon, addressing the crowd at Union Square on Nov. 17, asserted that Jews were "getting a taste of what it is like to be Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence."
The New York Post reported that she "intended" instead to express concern about the rise in hate crimes.
In an Instagram post, Sarandon said, "This phrasing was a terrible mistake, as it implies that until recently Jews have been strangers to persecution when the opposite is true."
She further recognized the historical oppression and religious violence endured by the Jewish community, citing instances from centuries past to recent events like the Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh.
Sarandon clarified that she had not intended to speak at the rally but was invited onstage to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and advocate for a cease-fire.
Expressing regret for diminishing the reality and the hurt caused by her comments, the Academy Award-winning actress acknowledged the enduring struggles faced by the Jewish community.
Following the backlash, Sarandon faced professional repercussions as UTA, her representation since 2014, severed ties with the actress. The agency reportedly took this action after several of its staffers expressed being "extremely hurt" by Sarandon's remarks.

Drop her off in Gaza. That woke smirk will be gone in seconds.
She’s DONE and she knows it..no one is EVER going to hire her again unless they are pro hamas as well. She has always been very anti Israel and pro Hamas, its in her DNA..so Susan, in the words of Elon Musk “Go F yourself” she can take her jew hating, hamas loving, vermin looking ass and drop dead
Some are but most don’t care, its all about abortion with many on the American jewish left they will never vote Republican
Nope.
“I’m sorry I got in trouble. Follow me for more brain brilliance!”
Howzabout she apologize for being a skank.
Tooooooo late!
Say goodbye to your (ahem) “career,” Susan.
Susan Saranazi’s hateful, ill conceived words kinda reminds me when A-list
actress Meryl Streep called serial sex offender, Harvey Weinstein, “a God.”
Harvey went to jail and Meryl has been AWOL since then.
A Jew hater in self-hating-Jew-dominated Hollyweird. Who knew that they would draw the line somewhere. They might even pull out of their death spin.
A libtard posted something incendiary and self-righteous before thinking it through.
What a surprise.
The half-assed “apology” is ONLY because what she posted bit her in the ass.
Let’s see how long this “canceling” lasts, and compare it to Roseanne’s canceling.
There isnt anything remotely anti semetic in that comment. Everyone shouts racism for everything. Most on this forum are probably tired of hearing it from black people but find it acceptable coming from Jewish people. Im tired of it all around. Not every critial comment or turn of phrase is racism. This completely minimizes what were real systemic problems in the past. Blacks weren’t protesting because people were saying things they didnt agree with. They were protesting because they couldn’t drj3nk at a Fontaine or sit on a bus without hanging from a tree. The holocaust wasn’t Jews complaining that Hitler didn’t like the foreign policy of their vastly superior nation. Give it a rest. People are allowed to disagree.
Maybe...Lift it!? Over her mouth and face!
HA! Not really!
Many in Hollywood hate the Jews..the whole “Hollywood is run by Jews” is total BS
In Hollywood, never cross the tribe.
“Earlier this week, Marlon Brando met with Jewish leaders to apologize for comments he made on Larry King Live, among them that “Hollywood is run by Jews.” The Jewish leaders accepted the actor’s apology and announced that Brando is now free to work again.” - Norm MacDonald
Here’s the main quote.
“Sarandon, addressing the crowd at Union Square on Nov. 17, asserted that Jews were “getting a taste of what it is like to be Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence.”
In and of itself it’s a pretty appalling and inaccurate statement, but I didn’t tell UTA to drop her. I don’t care if they drop her or not, but I can enjoy the schadenfreude emanating from the fact that they did drop Sarandon, because I don’t like her, and because cancel culture has claimed one of their own.
Dammit, Janet.
Run by Jews, no. A major factor in Hollywood, sure. But the sort of Jews who are a major factor are not very happy with being Jewish, and/or the fact of Israel’s existence and failure to do as SAG dictates (see Team America for details).
