Karla Sofía Gascón recently made history as the first openly trans actor to receive an Oscar nomination for Emilia Pérez. However, she is now facing backlash after her old ‘racist’ and offensive tweets resurfaced on X (formerly Twitter).
An old 2020 tweet about Islam, featuring a photo of a Muslim family, sparked outrage. The tweet, translated by Variety, mocked women wearing burkas, calling it “deeply disgusting of humanity.”
In a statement to Variety, she addressed the controversy:
💬 “I want to acknowledge the conversation around my past social media posts that have caused hurt. As someone from a marginalized community, I know this suffering well, and I deeply regret causing pain.”
She added that she has always fought for a better world and believes that “light will always triumph over darkness.”
