Emilia Pérez Director Hasn’t & ‘Doesn’t Want To’ Talk To Karla Sofía Gascón After Backlash

by

Director Jacques Audiard, who works with actress Karla Sofía Gascón on Emilia Pérez’s project, is also choosing to stay away from her after her questionable statements came to light. He expressed to Deadline that he has no intention of communicating with her anymore.

In a recent conversation with Deadline, Audiard openly shared his disappointment with Gascón and mentioned that they haven’t spoken since then, and he has no intention of doing so. Moreover, Audiard found it puzzling as to why Gascón has persisted in responding the way she has, describing her actions as “self-destructive” and detrimental to those associated with the movie.

Audiard expressed, “I haven’t had a conversation with her, and I don’t wish to. Her self-destructive behavior is beyond my influence, and it confounds me as to why she persists in this destructive path. Why is she hurting herself? Why? It’s a mystery to me, and what mystifies me even more is her decision to hurt those who were close to her in the movie production. I can’t help but think about the crew, Zoe [Saldaña], Selena [Gomez], and myself. I just don’t grasp why she continues to cause us harm.

What is the Karla Sofía Gascón controversy?

Recently, remarks made by Gascón earlier this month have resurfaced. These comments encompassed her thoughts on various topics such as:

1. The murder of George Floyd in 2020.
2. The Muslim population in Spain, her native country.
3. Christopher Columbus and the removal of statues depicting him in certain locations.

In simpler terms,

In a tweet in 2020, Gascón stated that a man was wrongly killed by a police officer after trying to pass a fake bill while under the influence of methamphetamine. This unfortunate event caused chaos and turned the man into a symbol or martyr. Gascón suggested that many people may not have cared much about George Floyd before his death, but his killing has brought attention to the fact that some still view Black people as having no rights and the police as murderers. He believes this perspective is incorrect.

In a previous discussion, Gascón expressed concerns about the increasing Muslim population in Spain, stating that Islamic practices contradict European values and infringe upon human rights. He proposed a ban on Islam, and expressed displeasure towards the influx of more Muslims into Spain.

It seems like your observation or feeling is that the Muslim population in Spain might be growing, as more and more women at your daughter’s school are covering their hair and wearing long skirts. You posted this on November 23, 2020, suggesting that you might need to start teaching Arabic instead of English next year due to a potential increase in the Muslim community.
