Netflix broke its silence and addressed the controversial issue of Spanish actress, Karla Sofía Gascón which surrounded the debut of film ‘Emilia Pérez’. A resurfaced moment for Gascón after social media users brought up her past posts about the disrespect and offensive act towards Muslim and Black community.

Streamer exec Berla Bajaria called the scandal over historic tweets "a distraction from the good work of 100 people."

I trust that meritocratic America will welcome her on the night of the Oscar,” Italian director Stefania Rossella Grassi said of Karla Sofía Gascón in the wake of her tweet scandal.

Netflix executive Bela Bajaria reacted to the controversy over 'Emilia Pérez' and Karla Sofía Gascón in a new podcast interview.

The director of "Emilia Pérez" thanked Karla Sofía Gascón, who has been under fire over her resurfaced social media posts, at Sunday's BAFTAs.

Karla Sofía Gascón, the trans star of Emilia Pérez, has been criticized for sharing racist, Islamophobic, and offensive things in past social media posts.

The actress’s old social media posts have threatened to derail the film’s Oscar campaign, but backlash has been building for months for other reasons.

When director Jacques Audiard came to pick the BAFTA 2025 for Emilia Pérez, he thanked actress Karla Sofía Gascón in his acceptance speech. This, despite Gascón's absence from the ceremony and awards campaign in the wake of the controversy over her offensive tweets.
