Karla Sofía Gascón Takes Back Claim That Fernanda Torres’ Team Speaks ‘Badly’ About Her

Karla Sofía Gascón took back claim that Fernanda Torres' team spoke 'badly' about her. A source says she did not violate any Oscars rules.

The Emilia Pérez actress made the accusation against Torres’ team on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, she took back her comment by saying she was referring to “violent hate speech” she has generally received online. In a statement to Rolling Stone Wednesday, Gascón, the first openly trans person nominated for an acting Oscar, walked back the comment, calling Torres a “wonderful ally” and adding that she was “an enormous fan” of the Brazilian star. The source told Rolling Stone Wednesday that the Academy reviewed the interview transcript and found that “there is no campaign promotional regulation violation” in Gascón’s statement since nothing disparaging was said about the film, nominee or performance.”
