As Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón caused a stir — and speculation that she'd broken campaign rules in the Oscars race — over recent quotes about digital campaign tactics related to fellow Best Actress nominee Fernanda Torres, she now faces backlash over past social media posts that have resurfaced online.
In a Jan. 21 Spanish-language interview with international publication Folha de S. Paulo, Gascón — the first-ever openly trans person nominated for an acting Oscar — praised Brazilian I'm Still Here star Torres as a "wonderful woman" who "deserves all the recognition in this world," before highlighting what Gascón felt was a "social media team that works around all these people trying to discredit other people's work," according to an independent translation by Entertainment Weekly.
"To highlight the work of one person you don't need to destroy the work of others. At no time have I seen anyone speaking badly of Fernanda Torres or Fernanda Torres' film," Gascón said. "But on the other hand I see [many] people who work in Fernanda Torres' environment who speak badly of me and Emilia Pérez, I think that says more about them and their film than mine."

In a follow-up statement provided to EW via email through Emilia Pérez distributor Netflix, Gascón clarified that she's "an enormous fan of Fernanda Torres" and was not making accusations toward the actress or her team.
"In my recent comments, I was referencing the toxicity and violent hate speech on social media that I sadly continue to experience. Fernanda has been a wonderful ally, and no one directly associated with her has been anything but supportive and hugely generous," the statement reads.
Still, many social media users speculated that the segment from Gascón's Folha de S. Paulo's interview violated the Academy's official regulations regarding campaigns and film promotion. EW has since learned that Gascón's comments didn't violate such regulations that stipulate "members, motion picture companies, and individuals directly associated with an eligible motion picture should be mindful of the impact their public communications may directly or indirectly have on the promotion of a motion picture, performance, or achievement, as well as the awards process" — including sharing "misleading or false information about a motion picture, performance, or achievement."

Just as the dust was settling on that controversy Thursday morning, screenshots of controversial posts from Gascón's X account were shared by writer Sarah Hagi. The posts — some of which appear to have been deleted and EW was not able to independently verify — included language that disparaged Islam, including a 2016 post that read "Islam is becoming a hotbed of infection for humanity that urgently needs to be cured," according to a translation included in the screengrab.
According to a Google-provided translation of another post from 2021 that still up, Gascón wrote: "The West should ban Islam and any political or religious manifestation that violates human rights and universal values. Paradoxically, there is no other way to enforce rules than to have rules and enforce them." A threaded post continued, "Obviously, I will never defend Islam or any religion. They all try to destroy human rights in favor of their stupid beliefs without sense or reason, ALL OF THEM. Human beings are imbeciles by nature and religions are proof of that. STOP RELIGIONS."
Variety reports that in other since-deleted tweets, Gascón made troubling comments about the murder of George Floyd, diversity at the Oscars, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the COVID-19 vaccine.
"More and more the #Oscars are looking like a ceremony for independent and protest films, I didn’t know if I was watching an Afro-Korean festival, a Black Lives Matter demonstration or the 8M,” Gascón purportedly wrote in 2021 per Variety. “Apart from that, an ugly, ugly gala.”

EW has reached out to representatives for the Academy, Gascón, I'm Still Here, and Netflix for comment.
Outside of recent ire she drew online, Gascón blazed a trail throughout the current awards race thanks to her role in the 2024 musical thriller Emilia Pérez, in which she stars as a crime lord who builds a new life as a transgender woman while enlisting a lawyer (Zoe Saldaña) to help her disappear from the lives of her children and wife (Selena Gomez). On Oscar nominations morning, Best Actress contender Gascón became the first openly trans woman to be nominated for an Academy Award in any acting category.
