Karla Sofía Gascón Sparks Controversy with Selena Gomez Remarks Amid Hailey Bieber Feud Rumors
Selena GomezIn recent news, Oscar nominee Karla Sofía Gascón has been at the center of controversy following the resurfacing of derogatory comments allegedly made about her Emilia Pérez co-star, Selena Gomez. The remarks, made in a since-deleted post on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, have drawn significant public backlash.
Gascón, who is celebrated as the first transgender performer nominated for an Oscar in the Best Actress category, reportedly referred to Gomez as a "rich rat" in response to a photo of Gomez and Hailey Bieber from the Annual Academy Museum Gala in October 2022. The comment reignited rumors of a feud between Gomez and Hailey Bieber, who is married to Gomez's former boyfriend, Justin Bieber.
Public reaction has been swift, with fans expressing outrage over the resurfaced remarks and calling for reconsideration of Gascón's Oscar nomination. The controversy is further fueled by other past social media posts made by Gascón, which were deemed offensive, leading to her apology and deactivation of her X account.
Despite the uproar, Gascón has yet to publicly apologize to Selena Gomez. The ongoing fallout highlights the complexities intertwined with Gascón's career and her portrayal in the film "Emilia Pérez", where she embodies the role of a Mexican cartel leader undergoing a gender transition.
The unfolding situation continues to capture public attention, casting a shadow over Gascón's professional achievements and prompting broader discussions on the impact of social media conduct on public figures' reputations.
