Karla Sofía Gascón, a star from "Emilia Pérez," has deactivated her Twitter account following backlash over past offensive tweets, including racist and Islamophobic remarks. In response to the controversy, she apologized, expressing her understanding of the pain caused by her comments. The resurfacing of these tweets, highlighted by journalist Sarah Hagi, prompted discussions about diversity at events like the Oscars and her problematic views on significant issues like police brutality and Islam. Gascón, the first openly trans actor nominated for an Oscar, emphasized her commitment to fighting for a better world despite her past errors.
I want to acknowledge the conversation around my past social media posts that have caused hurt. As someone in a marginalized community, I know this suffering all too well and I am deeply sorry.
More and more the #Oscars are looking like a ceremony for independent and protest films, I didn't know if I was watching an Afro-Korean festival.
