- She claims Hollywood agencies are still avoiding hiring her.

- This followed her participation in a pro-Palestinian rally.
American actress Susan Sarandon stated at the Venice Film Festival that she continues to lose acting opportunities due to her public criticism of Israel and its actions in Gaza. Sarandon, who was presenting the Italian film "Echo Chamber," claimed that some Hollywood agencies are still advising against hiring her. She asserted that the film industry maintains "very firm positions" supporting Israel and that attitudes towards her have not changed.
Sarandon believes public perception of the conflict has shifted, with people becoming more aware of U.S. financial and military backing for Israel. In November 2023, she was dropped by her agency, United Talent Agency, following a pro-Palestinian rally. At the time, she expressed regret for her words, calling them a "terrible mistake" and acknowledging they might have created a false impression about the situation and persecution faced by American Jews.
