Odessa A’zion said Wednesday in a series of Instagram posts that she has dropped out of Sean Durkin’s A24 film Deep Cuts following online backlash surrounding her casting.
Deep Cuts is an adaptation of Holly Brickley’s 2021 novel of the same name.
After A’zion’s casting was announced earlier this week, fans of the book noted that the character of Zoe Gutierrez, which A’zion was set to portray, was of Mexican heritage and Jewish.
I am with ALL of you and I am NOT doing this movie,” A’zion posted.
The adaptation was initially set up with Saoirse Ronan and Austin Butler, but following scheduling conflicts, both stars dropped out.
