Selena Gomez responded to the controversy surrounding her 'Emilia Perez' co-star Karla Sofía Gascón, whose resurfaced tweets criticizing Muslim culture and George Floyd stirred backlash. Gomez indicated that the drama affected her, noting a loss of magic, but affirmed pride in her work. Gascón denied allegations of racism and defended her Oscar nomination, emphasizing a lack of criminal conduct. The situation raises tension ahead of the Academy Awards, with other nominees expressing disappointment regarding Gascón's situation.
I cannot step down from an Oscar nomination because I have not committed any crime, nor have I harmed anyone. I am neither racist nor anything that all these people have tried to make others believe I am.
I choose to continue to be proud of what I've done, and I'm just grateful.
Of course that's not mine... I would never refer to her that way.
Some of the magic has disappeared.
