Fox News
"Emilia Pérez" actress Karla Sofía Gascón, the first openly trans actor nominated for an Oscar, detailed mental health struggles after social media fallout.
While the "Emilia Pérez" actress repeatedly apologized for the tweets and ditched X at the time, she was mostly phased out of Netflix's Oscar campaign, only to appear once again in public to attend the Academy Awards as a nominee. "Amid this unexpected, devastating storm, there have been moments when the pain has been so overwhelming that I contemplated the unthinkable." Tracy Wright is an entertainment reporter for Fox News Digital. Send story tips to Tracy.Wright@fox.com.
Gascón was compelled by her daughter and "future generations" to open an "honest discussion" about mental health now that awards season is over. She looked back on "dark moments – episodes in which despair led me to unexpected places."
