Selena Gomez Hits Back At Eugenio Derbez Criticizing Her Spanish In 'Emilia Pérez'
HuffPost
The comedian slammed Gomez's role as "indefensible.”
Selena Gomez has responded to Eugenio Derbez after he trashed her performance in “Emilia Pérez.”
While appearing on an upcoming episode of the “Hablando de Cine” podcast, the “Coda” star criticized Gomez for speaking Spanish in the film, calling her performance “indefensible.” Gomez is not a native speaker of the language.
In “Emilia Pérez,” which is directed by French filmmaker Jacques Audiard, Gomez stars alongside Zoe Saldana and Karla Sofía Gascón in the musical crime drama, portraying Jessi del Monte.
“Selena is indefensible,” Derbez said of Gomez’s role in “Emilia Pérez,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. “I was there [watching the movie] with people, and every time a scene came [with her in it], we looked at each other to say, ‘Wow, what is this?’”
After host Gaby Meza noted that Gomez is a “very talented actress” and has scored nominations for her role on Hulu’s comedy-drama “Only Murders in the Building,” Meza went on to side with Derbez on the singer’s performance in “Emilia Pérez,” which hit Netflix on Nov. 13.
