In one of her interviews, Coughlan said, "I feel like I am a very privileged person, I am doing my dream job and getting to travel the world, but then I am hyper aware of what’s happening in Rafah at the moment."

Jenna Ortega made headlines in the past few months for leaving the 'Scream 7' movie after Mexican actress Melissa Barrera was fired from the film for her pro-Palestinian remarks on social media. 

There were speculations that Ortega left the film because of Barrera and her own pro-Palestinian stance, however, the star had left the film because she was busy with filming for the second season of 'Wednesday'.
