Matthew Lillard Says He Feels Shame Over ‘Scream 7’ Return

Actor Matthew Lillard has said he feels ashamed for continuing to act in the upcoming film 'Scream 7' after his co-star Melissa Barrera was fired from the project.

Barrera was removed from the movie before filming was completed. Lillard chose to stay and finish his role in the film.

Now, Lillard says he regrets that decision. He described himself as feeling embarrassed about returning to the movie.

In his own words, Lillard said, 'I feel shame about that.' He also admitted, 'I blew that,' meaning he believes he made the wrong choice.

Lillard also said he is on 'the wrong side of history.' This means he believes that, looking back, people will judge his decision as wrong.

The comments suggest that Lillard has thought carefully about his choice to remain in the film after Barrera's firing. He appears to feel guilty about not standing by her.

Details about why Barrera was fired were not fully explained in his comments, but the firing has clearly affected how Lillard now views his own involvement in the project.

His statements show a public actor openly criticizing his own choices related to a major franchise film, which is somewhat unusual in Hollywood.
