“Unfortunately, I will not be doing the next movie of scream. As a woman, I have had to work very hard in my career to establish my worth, especially when it comes to scream. I felt that the offer presented to me was not equivalent to the value I brought to the franchise. It has been a very difficult decision to move forward. To all my fans, I love you. They have always been incredibly supportive of me. I will be eternally grateful to you and what this franchise has given me over the last 25 years.”
