Susan Sarandon‘s antisemitic rant has now cost her a role in a project — just the latest hit to her career after she bashed Jews.
The actress has been dropped from a short film she was set to star in called “Slipping Away” — this according to the co-founder of the production company that was putting it together.
David Barroso of PTO Films tells Page Six … “As a company, PTO Films would like to make it clear that Susan Sarandon’s views do not reflect the opinions of our organization. We were considering her for a short film, but due to her recent statements, we have decided to pursue other options.”
“Slipping Away” had been listed as an upcoming title on Sarandon’s IMDb page, but it’s gone now. There are 4 other future productions she’s attached to — three of them are in post-production and one is still in pre-production. Unclear if her roles in those are affected yet.
Remember … Sarandon caught heat for speaking up at a pro-Palestine rally in NYC recently, but what she said specifically ended up costing her. The antisemitic comment in question was … “There are a lot of people afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country.”

Sarandon was dropped from her talent agency, UTA, shortly thereafter … and now this. She has since apologized and said the phrasing was a terrible mistake.
