“Emilia Pérez” director Jacques Audiard and actor Zoe Saldaña have both weighed on the controversy swirling around the film’s star, Karla Sofía Gascón.

Last week, Gascón — who is nominated for best actress at the upcoming Oscars for her role in the French musical crime drama — faced backlash after a deep trove of racist and offensive social media posts were resurfaced on X. Those posts included tweets about Islam, George Floyd, diversity at the Oscars and much more.
