"Are you a Trans woman? Then don't worry about it, Tim. Besides, I love ballet slippers and I've seen Phantom of the Opera ten times. Not sure if that counts for anything. Best of luck with the awards."
"In her final comment on the Chalamet debacle, Gascón noted that the A Complete Unknown star's remarks had been captured on film, during a conversation with his Interstellar co-star Matthew McConaughey. In her case though, she protested that 'no one has seen or heard [her] say anything' offensive."
Karla Sofía Gascón, the Oscar-nominated trans star of Emilia Pérez, commented on the controversy surrounding Timothée Chalamet's statements that "no one cares" about ballet and opera. Using a meme comparing their characters, Gascón humorously suggested that as a trans woman, she wouldn't face the same consequences Chalamet might. She noted her personal appreciation for ballet and opera, referencing seeing Phantom of the Opera ten times. Gascón also highlighted the disparity in how her past social media posts were scrutinized compared to Chalamet's filmed remarks, suggesting that trans individuals face disproportionate criticism despite evidence of offensive behavior being more readily available for cisgender celebrities.
