Karla Sofia Gascón, who plays the title character in the Oscar-nominated Emilia Pérez, has apologized after her past offensive posts about Muslims and the killing of George Floyd resurfaced last week. “Following Jacques interview that I understand, I decided, for the film, for Jacques, for the cast, for the incredible crew who deserves it, for the beautiful adventure we all had together, to let the work talk for itself, hoping my silence will allow the film to be appreciated for what it is, a beautiful ode to love and difference,” Gascón wrote on Instagram on Thursday evening, alongside a post of her and her Emilia Pérez crew.
