As Karla Sofía Gascón's Oscar campaign derails due to racist tweets, the industry wonders: How did Netflix not check her post history?

The director of "Emilia Pérez" thanked Karla Sofía Gascón, who has been under fire over her resurfaced social media posts, at Sunday's BAFTAs.

Streamer exec Berla Bajaria called the scandal over historic tweets "a distraction from the good work of 100 people."

Netflix executive Bela Bajaria reacted to the controversy over 'Emilia Pérez' and Karla Sofía Gascón in a new podcast interview.

Karla Sofía Gascón, the trans star of Emilia Pérez, has been criticized for sharing racist, Islamophobic, and offensive things in past social media posts.

I trust that meritocratic America will welcome her on the night of the Oscar,” Italian director Stefania Rossella Grassi said of Karla Sofía Gascón in the wake of her tweet scandal.

The actress is in the middle of a scandal after hateful messages on social media against Muslims, African Americans, and even the Oscars, as well as controversial comments about her co-stars Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez.

When director Jacques Audiard came to pick the BAFTA 2025 for Emilia Pérez, he thanked actress Karla Sofía Gascón in his acceptance speech. This, despite Gascón's absence from the ceremony and awards campaign in the wake of the controversy over her offensive tweets.
