'Emilia Pérez' Director Calls Karla Sofía Gascón's Racist Tweets 'Inexcusable'
HuffPost
Jacques Audiard, who also cowrote the Oscar-nominated musical, said he hasn't spoken with the actor recently and added, "I don’t want to."
Jacques Audiard, the director of the Oscar-nominated musical “Emilia Pérez,” is currently not speaking with the film’s star, Karla Sofía Gascón, and added, “and I don’t want to.”
The film is up for 13 Oscars, including Best Actress for Gascón and Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for Audiard, but its chances have taken a hit after some of Gascón’s racist tweets from years back resurfaced.
Audiard told Deadline that the controversy over Gascón’s social media posts is “unfortunately” getting all the media attention, and “that makes me very sad.”
The director said that he and Gascón shared a lot of trust while making the film, but the current situation is affecting their relationship.
“When you have that kind of relationship and suddenly you read something that that person has said, things that are absolutely hateful and worthy of being hated, of course that relationship is affected,” Audiard said. “It’s as if you fall into a hole. Because what Karla Sofía said is inexcusable.”
