Over 180 Jewish Artists Sign Letter Supporting Mark Ruffalo Amid Antisemitism Accusations

More than 180 Jewish actors, directors, and celebrities have signed an open letter titled "¡Ya basta!" (Enough!) in defense of actor Mark Ruffalo, who was accused of antisemitism by Paramount after criticizing the proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. The letter, obtained by Variety, argues that labeling Ruffalo antisemitic for questioning a massive corporate merger is "absurd" and a dangerous way to silence legitimate criticism. Signatories include Joaquin Phoenix, Hannah Einbinder, Jane Fonda, and Denis Villeneuve, among over 1,000 Hollywood stars who previously opposed the merger. The controversy highlights tensions between creative communities and corporate consolidation in the entertainment industry.
