Why Is Netflix Staying Silent On Karla Sofía Gascón?
Five days after Karla Sofía Gascón’s racially insensitive social media history was exposed, Netflix has yet to comment about the 'Emilia Pérez' star.
Netflix spokespeople did not respond to requests for an on-the-record comment about Gascón, offering a window on the company’s reluctance to engage with a story that will run all the way to the Academy Awards on March 2. In missives spanning years, the Spanish actress wrote that Islam was a “hotbed of infection for humanity,” described Floyd as a “drug addict swindler,” and said that the 2021 Oscars were an “ugly” “Afro-Korean festival” after triumphs for Minari and Judas and the Black Messiah. Instead, Netflix has stood back as others have condemned Gascón, not least Zoe Saldaña, who in a quietly powerful intervention last week said she has zero tolerance for “any negative rhetoric towards people of any group.”
