Karla Sofia Gascon, the star of 'Emilia Perez', faces significant backlash following the leak of her racist and xenophobic tweets. Despite her apology, she insists it’s a hate campaign against her. Director Jacques Audiard, who has avoided discussing the matter until now, expressed deep concern over how the scandal overshadows the film's achievements, including 13 Academy Award nominations. He acknowledges the impact of Gascon's comments on their previously strong professional relationship and his unfortunate emotional response to the situation, stating that it profoundly disrupts the trust established during filming.
Yes. Very unfortunately, it is taking up all the space, and that makes me very sad. It's very hard for me to think back to the work I did with Karla Sofia. The trust we shared, the exceptional atmosphere that we had on the set that was indeed based on trust. And when you have that kind of relationship and suddenly you read something that that person has said, things that are absolutely hateful and worthy of being hated, of course that relationship is affected.
I haven't spoken to her, and I don't want to. She is in a self-destruct mode.
