Eugenio Derbez Apologizes to Selena Gomez for His Comments About Her Spanish in ‘Emilia Pérez’

Eugenio Derbez has apologized to Selena Gomez after he criticized her performance in 'Emilia Perez.'

Meza, who called Gomez a “very talented actress” and “very good singer,” added that “Spanish is neither her primary nor secondary language nor fifth. I was wrong, and I deeply admire your career and your kind heart.” He added that the film deserves to be celebrated and “not diminished by my thoughtless remarks.” The Jacques Audiard-directed Emilia Pérez tells a tale of Mexican drug wars and LGBTQ+ liberation and features Gomez, Zoe Saldana, and Karla Sofía Gascón singing in Spanish and dancing in the musical cartel-gangster film.
