Still, she insists she's proud of the Oscar-nominated film and says she "would do this movie over and over again if I could."
Selena Gomez is the latest person connected with “Emilia Pérez” to admit that the film’s Oscar campaign has been affected by the resurfaced tweets of its star Karla Sofía Gascón.
During an onstage interview Sunday night at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where Gomez was receiving the Virtuosos Award, she discussed the controversy’s effect on her.
“Some of the magic has disappeared,” Gomez conceded when asked about the topic.
The actor insisted she is still happy with the film, saying she chooses “to continue to be proud of what I’ve done and I’m just grateful. I live with no regrets, and I would do this movie over and over again if I could.”
Although “Emilia Pérez” is up for 13 Oscars ― with Gascón nominated for Best Actress ― the actor’s racist, bigoted and controversial social media posts have stirred up negative publicity for the film since coming to light last month.
