Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofia Gascón breaks silence after Oscars host Conan O'Brien roasted her on stage
The Spanish actress, 52, was pulled from awards season appearances after 'racist' tweets of hers were unearthed - sparking speculation as to whether or not she would attend Sunday's Oscars.
'Thanks to the members of @theacademy for the nomination for best leading actress, for the invitation to the gala; I really enjoyed it, very amiable and funny, especially your fabulous host Jimmy Kimmel, he is fantastic, every day he looks more like the great Conan O’Brien,' she wrote.

The Los Angeles Times noted that the controversy surrounding Gascón's social media posts were 'the most uncomfortable thing about being at the Academy Awards this year.'
