Karla Sofía Gascón says she has endured “very, Vey difficult days” when her campaign for a best actress Oscar threw in waves of controversy from her old tweets and continued the apologus tour this week in an almost hour long television interview that was filled as filled were filled with tears and long explanations.
After one Long apology published Saturday on InstagramThe “Emilia Perez” star joined CNN an español and repeated her tearful excuse: “My sincere apology to anyone who may have felt offered by how I express myself in my past, present and future,” she said.
Journalist Sarah Hagi revealed a series of tweets Last week from Gascón where she criticized the reaction to the 2020 murder at George Floyd and supported prohibited religions that “go towards European values.” Tweets seem to be several years old and translated from Spanish.
At least some of the tweets were completely manufactured, she said-incumbent one who seemed to be directed at her co-star Selena Gomez.
“I want to know if you wrote it in an insulting way about Selena Gomez, who is a colleague of yours in the role and someone who, I think, you have had a close relationship. Is that yours or not? “She was asked.
“It’s definitely not mine,” Gascón said. “I would never talk about her or anyone else. People who know me understand who I am. Unfortunately, in the middle of this storm, my family has crying and my daughter has locked up for several days. I have always worked tirelessly, and now I am here and explain myself when celebrating the hard work I have done. “
Gascón said that her life has been concerned since the controversy erupted and has worked tirelessly to convince people to forgive her. Thewrap has learned that Netflix did not arrange CNN an Español interview.
“Yes, the truth is that these have been very, very difficult days,” she said, leaving later: “Some people have told me not to even think about participating in the Oscars gala because I might not.”
She emphasized several times that she is “not racist.”
“I’ve been described as a racist,” she said. “It was something I wanted to do very clearly: I am not. Because I think I have been convicted, condemned, sacrificed, crucified and stoned without trial and without the opportunity to defend me in recent days. “
