‘I Had No Idea You Were Zionists’: Unrepentant Susan Sarandon, Dropped by Agency for Antisemitic Comments, Said To Clap Back at United Talent, Which Represents ‘Rock Star’ Ta-Nehisi Coates
United Talent Agency’s strong response to Sarandon has not extended to several other clients who have made or supported harsh anti-Israel statements in the wake of the October 7 terrorist attacks.

Susan Sarandon is said to have doubled down on the antisemitic comments that led to her agents at United Talent Agency dropping her. Meanwhile, UTA continues to represent the leftist writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, who’s supported anti-Israel statements just as offensive or worse than Ms. Sarandon’s.
Puck’s Matt Belloni reports in his “What I’m Hearing” email that when Ms. Sarandon’s two agents from UTA called to inform her that her comments were “hurtful,” the Oscar winner clapped back that, “I had no idea you were Zionists.” On November 21, Ms. Sarandon’s former agency confirmed to the Sun that she had been dropped.
