Oscar -Nominated Karla Sofía Gascón continued to assemble their defense In the aftermath of a series of previously racist tweets that resurrect this week. By taking Instagram this morning, Gascón admitted that she can “do better” but that her words have been injured.
The post contained a picture of the Nichir Buddhist symbol with the words, “as with ‘Emilia Pérez’: We can all do better. I also,” Written over it. Gascón then wrote (according to the translation of variety), “They already won. The first. The first. I would like to do is ask for the most sincere forgiveness of those who know me bad about how I have expressed myself at any stage in my life. I have many things to learn in this world, the forms (where I learn) is my biggest mistake. Life has taught me something I never wanted to learn: It is clear to me that no matter how much my message is my message, without using the correct word, (message) can convert to another
Gascón continued, “I have gone from living a normal life to a life at the top of my profession of just six months, now my responsibility is very great because my voice not only belongs to me but too many people who feel represented and hopeful of Or with me. “
Gascón developed his connection to the Nichiren -Buddhism and pointed to the Japanese movement as fundamental to a change she has undergone in recent decades.
“I’m not the same person I was 10 or 20 years ago, even though I hadn’t committed any crimes that I wasn’t perfect either, I’m not even perfect now,” she said. “I’m just trying to learn and become a better person every day.”

By ending his statement by returning to their introduction, Gascón wrote: “They have already won, they have achieved their goal, to color my existence with lies or things taken from the context. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not a racist (you will be surprised when you find out that one of the most important people in my present life and that I love most is Muslim) or any of the things I have been judged and was condemned without trial and without the possibility of explaining real intention; I have always fought for a more just society and for a world of freedom, peace and love. I will never support war, religious extremism or the oppression of races and people. ”
She also suggested that some of the posts that circulate online are fake, but in addition, the entire campaign is designed to prevent her from winning future prizes.
“They have created posts as if I was insulting even my colleagues,” Gascón said. “Things I wrote to glorify as if they were criticism, jokes as if they were reality, words that without the background just seem like hatred. Everything as long as I don’t win anything and I sink. “
Finally, Gascón shared words delivered by her mother, who said: “I care very little if you win something, I just care that you are okay and that no one will hurt you.”
“Mother, this life has put me here to send a message about hope and love for this world, I will do it,” Gascón said in response.
After receiving many awards for her performance in “Emilia Pérez”, Gascón was in serious dispute for best actress at the upcoming 97th Academy Awards but has Now put the film’s entire Oscar chances at risk. Previous posts found on Gascón’s now-erased account on X, formerly known as Twitter, contained virulent attacks on the Muslim community, George Floyd and even Oscar’s diversity.
