Karla Sofía Gascón, the first openly trans actor nominated for an Academy Award for her role in Emilia Pérez, is embroiled in controversy as her racist and anti-Islamic social media posts resurface. Despite her attempts at damage control, including ambiguous apologies and interviews claiming support from co-stars, there has been a significant backlash. Notably, director Jacques Audiard expressed his disapproval of her past statements, highlighting the negative impact on the film crew and expressing confusion about her continued behavior. Netflix is reportedly halting her award season funding.
It's very hard for me to think back to the work I did with Karla Sofía... I really don't understand why she's continuing.
Karla Sofía stated that the resurfacing of her racist posts was an attempt to stifle her Oscar chances.
