Selena Gomez recently addressed the racism controversy surrounding her Emilia Pérez co-star Karla Sofia Gascón, emphasizing that she stands by her decision to be a part of the production. Speaking at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Gomez expressed her pride in the film despite the chaos surrounding it. She stated, “I have no regrets and would do this movie over and over again if I could.”
Gascón, who plays the lead role in Emilia Pérez, faced backlash for past social media posts containing offensive remarks about various groups. Despite issuing apologies and defending herself in interviews, Gascón has faced criticism from co-stars like Zoe Saldaña. Director Jacques Audiard also distanced himself from Gascón following the controversy.
In response, Gascón announced her decision to remain silent and let the film speak for itself, apologizing to those who were hurt by the situation. The controversy has impacted the Oscar campaign for Emilia Pérez, but Gomez remains proud of her work in the film.
