Karla Sofía Gascón, Star of ‘Emilia Pérez’, Apologizes for Controversial Social Media Posts


Karla Sofía Gascón, star of the Netflix film “Emilia Pérez,” issued an apology after her past social media posts resurfaced, sparking criticism. The posts, which have since been deleted, included comments about Muslims, George Floyd, and diversity at the Oscars. Gascón, who made history as the first openly trans actor nominated for an Oscar, expressed regret for causing pain and stated her commitment to fighting for a better world.

The film “Emilia Pérez,” in which Gascón stars, has received 13 Oscar nominations and has been praised for its genre-busting approach. Despite its success, some have criticized its portrayal of trans characters. GLAAD described the film as a “step backward for trans representation” in a blog post.

Gascón, who worked closely with director Jacques Audiard to help shape the film’s transgender storyline, defended the project, emphasizing her efforts to make it more realistic and aligned with its goals. The film, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and won awards at the Golden Globes, has generated buzz and accolades but also faced backlash for its representation of trans people.

Gascón’s apology and the discussion surrounding the film highlight the complexities of representation and the importance of authentic portrayals of marginalized communities in media.
