1) Susan Sarandon (November 2023)
Susan Sarandon, the Academy Award-winning actress, was dropped by her talent agency UTA after speaking at a pro-Palestinian rally. Her remarks, made during a heated period in the Israel-Hamas conflict, were deemed controversial. The backlash came from critics who felt her comments were inappropriate and unsupportive of Israel. Although Sarandon apologized through an Instagram post where she claimed that she intended to stand against bigotry of any kind and expressed regret about not being able to do so. Professionally, Sarandon has not fully recovered, as losing agency representation can impact future opportunities in the entertainment industry.
