The Spanish actress Karla Sofía Gascón is embroiled in controversy over a series of old social media posts, labeled as racist and politically incorrect. Despite the accusations, Gascón has stated that the majority of them are false, although she does not specify which ones she considers true.
In an interview with CNN en Español, the actress expressed her discomfort at feeling judged and condemned without the opportunity to defend herself. She stated that she does not plan to resign from her Oscar nomination for Best Actress, resulting from her work in a film to which she dedicated several years of her life.
In tears and visibly affected, Karla Sofía Gascón denied having insulted Selena Gomez, with whom she shared a recording set, as well as Zoe Saldaña, arguing that her collaboration with them contradicts the accusations of racism against her. On the other hand, she apologized for her manner of expression in the past, present, and future, acknowledging that her words may have offended some people.
Despite the controversies, the actress of "Manitas" in the film Emilia Pérez has not given up her Oscar nomination, highlighting her performance in the film and reaffirming her position that she has committed no crime and caused no harm to anyone. Karla Sofía Gascón remains firm in her decision not to yield to pressure and argues that her nomination is based on her acting work, with nothing to hide.
