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.

In a tearful interview that Netflix did not authorize, the ‘Emilia Pérez’ star denied calling her costar Selena Gomez a “rich rat” and accused her detractors of unearthing “false” intel to derail her best-actress campaign.
