Adam Brody’s ‘Nobody Wants This’ Mom Addresses Cast Tension After Vocally Dissenting ‘Free Palestine’

Tovah Feldshuh, who plays Adam Brody's on-screen mother in Netflix's "Nobody Wants This," has responded to speculation that their public disagreement over Israel and Gaza has caused tension among the cast and crew. In a statement on Threads, the 77-year-old actress emphasized that "tensions are not rising." Feldshuh clarified that while there are "profound differences of opinion," these will not be brought to the set and insisted that she "deeply enjoys filming 'NWT' and hopes the show is chosen for a fourth season."

Her response came after Armenian media company Azat TV claimed tensions were emerging on the set following Brody's public support for a free Palestine and labeling the Gaza conflict a genocide. Earlier this week, Feldshuh had criticized Brody's stance, calling his comments "right out of Hitler's playbook." Feldshuh, who portrays Bina Roklov, Rabbi Noah Roklov's mother, previously lambasted Brody's views in an interview with the New York Post, stating that accusing the Jewish people of genocide is "wild" and "right out of Hitler's playbook."

She also referenced the horseshoe effect, suggesting that socialism and antisemitism are merging in the current political climate. Series creator and co-showrunner Erin Foster broke with Brody's stance on Israel's military action in a podcast episode, admitting her feelings were "complicated." While she loves Brody, Foster expressed disagreement with his comments, emphasizing that disagreement in the workplace is normal.
