Actress Karla Sofía Gascón has faced severe criticism for her racist and offensive comments on social media. Her participation in the film 'Emilia Pérez' has brought her into the spotlight, as internet users have resurfaced old tweets where the actress made negative comments about different races and religions. There have even been leaked posts where she attacks Muslims, Mexicans, and even insults George Floyd.
"I think very few people ever cared about George Floyd, a drug-addicted conman, but his death has served to highlight that there are still those who consider black people monkeys without rights and those who believe the police are killers," the actress mentioned in one of her controversial messages.
In response to the public reaction, Karla Sofía Gascón issued a statement through 'Variety' magazine apologizing for the harm caused by her past posts on social media. However, many people question the sincerity of her apologies and doubt the truthfulness of her words.
In her statement, the actress expressed: "I want to address the conversation about my past social media posts that caused harm. As someone in a marginalized community, I know this suffering well and I am deeply sorry for those I have hurt. I believe that light will always triumph over darkness."
Despite her apologies, internet users continue to question the authenticity of her words and point out that she is only apologizing because she has been publicly exposed. Comments like "She is not sorry, she is just apologizing because she got caught" or "We don't care about her fake apology" demonstrate the lack of credibility generated by her online forgiveness.
