Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon (77) recently made a controversial comment that Jewish Americans are "now experiencing what it feels like to be Muslim," and her Hollywood affiliated company It has been revealed that he has been excluded from the major agency ''United Talent Agency (UTA)''.
On the 21st, a UTA spokesperson confirmed to Fox News that the agency no longer represents Sarandon.
At a pro-Palestinian rally held in New York City on the 17th of this month, Sarandon called on participants to listen to and discuss the opinions of Jewish Americans. This is because anti-Semitism has increased since the October 7 terrorist attack in Israel by the Islamic group Hamas, with many Jewish citizens reporting that they fear for their safety.
Sarandon continued, "Many Jews right now are experiencing what it's like to be a Muslim in a country where there is so much violence and fear of being Jewish." Sarandon is the son of Catholic parents and studied theater at a Catholic university.
This statement provoked a fierce backlash, including from Muslim-American writer and education activist Asra Nomani. On X (formerly Twitter), he questioned Sarandon's claim that ''Muslims living in the United States feel the same way'' and said, ''It glorifies the hell that Muslims living in Muslim countries go through, and my Please don't minimize the experience of Jewish Americans by denigrating America, the country that gave my family a new life and freedom."
