Veteran animation voice actor Tara Strong has been fired from the lead role in the upcoming Boxtown cartoon series after she irked social media users with her strong support of Israel and her explicit condemnation of Hamas.
Strong, who has been featured in a long list of animated projects including an animated part in Loki, as well as series The New Batman Adventures, Teen Titans, Rugrats, The Powerpuff Girls, The Fairly OddParents, and many more, says that she was unaware that she had been fired until she saw the recasting notice posted by the cartoon series on X.
“Hello all! Just wanted to offer a quick update on Boxtown,” the notice on the official Boxtown X page reads. “We will be recasting the role of Bill (previously played by Tara Strong). We’ll have more info soon on open auditions.”
