Academy Award-winning actress Susan Sarandon was dropped as a client of UTA, a major Hollywood agency, following her controversial comments that American Jews are getting a “taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim.”
A UTA spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital Sarandon is no longer repped by them.
At a pro-Palestinian rally in New York City on Nov. 17, Sarandon called for protesters to listen and have conversations with Jewish Americans, as many have said they don’t feel safe because of the rise in antisemitism since the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack.
“There are a lot of people that are afraid, that are afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence,” Sarandon said.
Her comments received intense backlash, including from Muslim American writer and education activist Asra Nomani who wrote a lengthy thread on X about how her parents experienced a life of freedom and opportunity in the United States that they wouldn’t have experienced living in a Muslim country.
“This is a ‘taste’ of life for a Muslim family in America. 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. Go, live like a Muslim woman in a Muslim country,” she wrote.
“You will come back to America and kiss the land beneath your feet.”
