“I do not understand why she continues to hurt us”: before the Oscars, Audiard lets go Karla Sofía Gascón

Nothing is going well for “Émilia Perez”, Jacques Audiard’s film. The controversy that struck the transgender actress, a heroine of the film, is burying the hopes of miraculous fishing at the Hollywood ceremony, at the end of the month, for the film of the French director. Jacques Audiard said he had not spoken to Karla Sofía Gascón, the main character in his film, following his controversial tweets with the specialized media Deadline Hollywood. The French director has even been to the disavowal in these words to the American media.

“I think of the way she hurts others, the way she hurts the team and all those people who worked so hard on this film. I think of myself, I think of Zoe (Saldana) and in Selena (Gomez) I do not understand why she continues to hurt us, “he openly criticized her actress.

“The words of Karla Sofía are inexcusable”

Audiard told Deadline Hollywood in this interview that he had broken the ties with the Oscar candidate for best actress. “I didn’t tell him and I didn’t want to do it,” insisted Michel Audiard’s son. Karla Sofía Gascón whose Oscar’s prospects have gone, continued to go around the media, including an interview, partly in tears, an hour on CNN in Spanish, where she refused to withdraw from the competition for Oscars. She also defended herself from being “racist”.

“Suddenly you read something that this person has said, things that are absolutely detestable and deserve to be hated, of course this relationship is affected. It’s like falling into a hole. Because Karla Sofía’s words are inexcusable, “condemned Audiard, in the same interview with Deadline.

Consistent by these posts, the actress apologized “as a member of a marginalized community”, in a press release transmitted by Netflix, which broadcasts the film in the United States, but which excluded the actress from all promotion .
