Voice actor Tara Strong has broken silence on being fired from Boxtown over their controversial posts regarding the Israel-Palestine crisis.
Earlier this week, reports confirmed voice actor Tara Strong was no longer slated for one of her gigs. The actress, who has starred in high-profile projects by Marvel and Nickelodeon, came under fire for recent posts about the Israel-Palestine conflict. The posts prompted Strong's removal from the indie animated series Boxtown, and now the actress is addressing the situation.
In response to Strong's address, the writer of Boxtown refuted the notion about the actress being fired over their faith. Spencer Rothbell explained."The other main character is voiced by a Jewish person , the co-writer of the pilot is a Jew too...try again! I had nothing to do with her apparently being recast but this is an absurd claim to make."
