“Emilia Perez” Actor Says She Will Now Be Silent, Apologizes “to everyone who has been hurt along the way”

Controversial “Emilia Perez” actor Karla Sofia Gascon has posted to Instagram that she will now be silent.

Gascon is at the center of a scandal involving her previously unknown racist tweets. The Tweets have ended her relationship with Netflix, their Oscar campaign, and director Jacques Audiard.

She “apologizes,” but doesn’t say for what and doesn’t recant her horrible Tweets that are anti-Muslim, anti-Asian, and just plain racist. The Tweets, uncovered by a free lance journalist, have caused a firestorm that have likely destroyed the film’s awards chances.
