‘Emilia Pérez’ Star Karla Sofía Gascón Apologizes for Racist, Offensive Tweets: ‘I Am Deeply Sorry to Those I Have Caused Pain’
"Emilia Pérez" star Karla Sofía Gascón has issued an apology after her controversial tweets on Muslims, George Floyd and diversity resurfaced.
One 2020 post that was independently translated by Variety, attached to photo of a Muslim family in a restaurant, including a woman in a burka, reads: “Islam is marvelous, without any machismo. In another post from 2021, Gascón wrote, “I am so sick of so much of this shit, of islam, of christianity, of catholicism and of all the fucking beliefs of morons that violate human rights.” She previously became the first transgender woman to win the best actress award at the Cannes Film Festival (an honor which she shared with her co-stars Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez and Adriana Paz) and was the first trans woman nominated for film acting at the Golden Globes.
