Netflix Removes Karla Sofía Gascón From ‘Emilia Pérez’ Oscars Campaign: Reports

Netflix won't be focusing on Karla Sofía Gascón as it campaigns for 'Emilia Pérez' ahead of the Academy Awards.

According to reports from Variety and The HollywoodReporter, the streaming service is distancing itself from the Spanish actress after her offensive posts about Muslims and George Floyd went viral last week. THR also reported that the actress was nixed from email blasts and ad-reads marketing the film for awards season, and that some billboards including images of Gascón will soon feature other co-stars in addition to her or exclusively. The day prior, tweets by Gascón from 2020 and 2021 surfaced online, that included controversial comments about Muslims, the killing of George Floyd, and diversity at the Oscars.
