I love it we finally have representation ❤❤
She didn't have to slay this hard
I’m so proud of her !❤
She makes one bad ass action star.
She's white and Latina, I think she's confused about her race and ethnicity. She is not a person of color.
only the first one was good … how many sequels will they make ? 😉
Proud of Melissa for her performance in scream 6, she proved the haters wrong!!!
So the Coloreds survived? We've arrived ppl 😂
Ghostface can be ANYONE.. but it’s always the obvious people with little to no character development!
Scream 7 should take place in Toronto
The thumbnail makes it seem like ghostface is real 😂😂😂
Love Sam!
She's so well spoken and handles sensitive topics with ease and authenticity!
She ah beautiful, very much so TALENTED Actress💯 most definitely kilt that role & I most definitely wanna see more of you #Scream7
She’s a great actress
Who’s else wants Melissa Barerra who’s playing Sam in scream 2022 and scream 6 to be in Wednesday season 2 because Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barerra were both in scream 2022 and scream 6 as sisters as Sam and Tara in scream movies started with scream 2022,also known as scream 5 and scream 6 that was out march 10/2023.
Melissa is absolutely incredible and extremely talented! She’s deserves all the recognition in the world. She’s going places and as a Scream fan since I was 6 years old, I’m grateful we have her apart of the franchise. A beautiful, bad ass Latina woman leading a successful huge franchise with such a humble spirit. ❤
I hate the race baiting of the interviewer. She answered those beautifully.
Scream material made the news interesting, I appreciate her take on diversity casting. The fact that they let her be the color she is as opposed to feeling to explain why. That’s the biggest issue people have with Hollywood now and scream fixed it with 5 so easy. Let the actors be, not act as a token! I never had the thought once viewing 5 or now 6, I welcome it though in the way they tackled diversity!
I actually love Sam and tara more than I thought. both Melissa and Jenna both slayed in scream alongside kirby
Love her
Love her❤❤
You know there isn't an agenda with casting when you don't care what color the skin is of the actors. I didnt even notice and couldn't care less. I fell in love with them because they are well written and acted. That's how you do it Hollywood! Don't force people into roles simply to check diversity boxs. Write roles and cast the best actors to fill them regardless of ethnic background. We're all people at the end of the day.
She’s a babe
I love melissa
Go Melissa!! Speaking Disney & Marvel projects into your future!
look at this girl getting recognition! so proud of Melissa, she shined in Scream 6!
It's BARRERA put some respect on our last name
I am so proud of Melissa glad that she getting her recognition
hard work is paying off for her. she did an amazing job as sam in scream 6
