“Nobody Wants This” star Tovah Feldshuh swears there is no squabbling amongst the cast over the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“Tensions are NOT RISING. Profound differences of opinion are,” Feldshuh, 77, wrote via Threads on Friday, October 30, addressing rumors the cast is feuding. “Please do not conflate the two — And none of it will be brought to the set.”
She continued, “I deeply enjoy filming NWT and hope we are chosen to go on for a fourth season.”
Last month, Adam Brody, who plays a rabbi in the Netflix series, spoke up about the Middle East strife.
“I have spoken a lot about it privately. I haven’t spoken much about it publicly,” the “O.C.” alum shared in GQ. “Put me down as thinking it’s a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine.
“It’s awful that it’s taken so much death and misery, but it does feel like it’s reaching a breaking point that it should have a while ago. I’m hopeful that another administration can really do some good and correct some of these policies that are helping that situation be as awful as it is.”
Feldshuh, who plays Brody’s mother, Bina, in the series, vehemently disagrees with her on-screen son.
“To accuse the Jewish people of genocide is wild,” she told The Post. “It’s right out of Hitler’s playbook. You take the victim and you make the victim the perpetrator.”
“My job, as Bina but also as Tovah, is to love the people on set at my place of work, to be kind,” she said.
Rabbi Steve Leder, who was the technical adviser on the show’s first season, has also blasted Brody,labeling him an “ignorant Jew.”
The series follows Rabbi Noah Roklov (Brody), who is in a relationship with Joanne, a non-Jewish sex podcaster, played by Kristen Bell.
It is loosely based on creator Erin Foster’s relationship with now-husband Simon Tikhman.
Season 3 of the rom-com series recently dropped.
