Karla Sofia Gascón, who plays the title character in the Oscar-nominated Emilia Pérez, has apologized after her past offensive posts about Muslims and the killing of George Floyd resurfaced last week.

The recently uncovered social media posts by "Emilia Pérez" star Karla Sofía Gascón in which she attacked, among various things - Islam, George Floyd and a more diverse Oscars - have thrown an unexpected wrench into the awards race.

In the wake of the recently resurfaced tweets, Zoe Saldaña says she’s “disappointed” but remains “proud” of the film she created with Gascón.
