Selena Gomez breaks silence on ‘Emilia Pérez’ co-star’s offensive posts

Selena Gomez is breaking her silence as her film “Emilia Pérez” is embroiled in a PR crisis due to past social media posts from co-star Karla Sofía Gascón.

In a Q&A about her Virtuosos Award win during the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Sunday, the Golden Globe nominee admitted that the recent controversy has impacted the way she’s been feeling as the Netflix crime drama musical collects trophies at Hollywood award shows.

“I’m good. I’m really good,” Gomez, 32, said. “Some of the magic has disappeared. But I choose to continue to be proud of what I’ve done, and I’m just grateful. I live with no regrets, and I would do this movie over and over again if I could.”

Gomez’s comment comes days after director Jacques Audiard distanced himself from Gascón in a Feb. 5 interview with Deadline, calling her past social media posts “inexcusable” and confirming he had not been in contact with her since they became public. In recent weeks, Gascón has made a number of public statements in response to her racist and xenophobic social media posts that an X user resurfaced at the end of January.

This is a critical time for Hollywood’s award season, with final votes for the March 2 Academy Awards due on Feb. 18. “Emilia Pérez” leads with 13 nominations.

Gascón has offered her “sincerest apologies” for her past comments aimed at Muslim people, Oscars diversity and George Floyd, which were seemingly posted as recently as 2020. However, she also denounced the people who brought her years-old posts to the forefront, writing, “They have achieved their objective, to stain my existence with lies or things taken out of context.”
