Karla Sofía Gascón Addresses Past Tweets and Fallout from 'Emilia Pérez'

The actress issues an apology, reflects on personal struggles, and commits to growth after a turbulent Oscars season.

Karla Sofía Gascón apologized for past offensive tweets, which resurfaced during her Oscars campaign, and pledged to continue learning and listening.
The controversy led to tensions with Netflix and Gascón skipping key pre-Oscars events, though she later attended the ceremony and thanked the Academy for her recognition.
She revealed the intense backlash caused her to delete her social media account and contemplate deeply personal struggles, including dark thoughts during the ordeal.
Criticism surrounding 'Emilia Pérez,' including its portrayal of Mexico and comments by director Jacques Audiard, contributed to the film's unpopularity in Mexico.
Zoe Saldaña, who won Best Supporting Actress for the film, expressed regret for offending audiences but defended the movie’s broader themes of systemic oppression and survival.
