Karla Sofía Gascón, star of ‘Emilia Pérez’, issues apology for controversial past social media posts


Karla Sofía Gascón, the star of the film “Emilia Pérez,” issued an apology after past social media posts resurfaced where she appeared to comment on Muslims, George Floyd, and diversity at the Oscars. Gascón expressed regret for causing hurt and acknowledged the pain she may have caused. Despite being the first openly trans actor to be nominated for an Oscar, she apologized for the insensitive comments she made in the past. Criticism of Gascón began after screenshots of her posts in Spanish from 2020 and 2021 were shared online. The posts have since been deleted, and Gascón’s apology was issued through Netflix.

The film “Emilia Pérez,” a Mexican drug cartel boss who undergoes gender-affirming surgery, received 13 Oscar nominations and has been praised for its genre-busting approach. However, some have criticized the film for its depiction of trans people, with GLAAD calling it a step backward for trans representation. Gascón, who helped shape the transgender storyline in the film, spoke about her involvement in the project and how she added elements to make it more realistic.

Despite the success and recognition the film has received, there has been disappointment from some regarding its portrayal of transgender individuals. Gascón’s apology and acknowledgment of the hurt caused by her past social media posts come amidst the discussion surrounding the film and its representation of marginalized communities.
