Netflix’s ‘Emilia Pérez,’ which has garnered 13 Oscar nominations, is facing backlash after offensive social media posts by lead actress Karla Sofía Gascón resurfaced. Gascón, the first openly transgender performer nominated for an Academy Award, came under fire for past tweets. Netflix’s Chief Content Officer, Bela Bajaria, acknowledged the issue and noted the need for reconsideration of talent vetting processes as the backlash threatens to overshadow the film’s accolades. Although Gascón has publicly apologized, the company has distanced her from promotional events and faced scrutiny over their vetting practices amid ongoing discussions regarding accountability in the industry.
