Jacques Audiard, the writer and director of Netflix’s Emilia Pérez, is the latest creative to weigh in on the controversy surrounding the film’s star, Karla Sofía Gascón.
Recommended Videos “I haven’t spoken to her, and I don’t want to. She is in a self-destructive approach that I can’t interfere in, and I really don’t understand why she’s continuing,” Audiard said. “Why is she harming herself? Why? I don’t understand it, and what I don’t understand about this too is why she’s harming people who were very close to her. I’m thinking in this thing of how hurting others, of how she’s hurting the crew and all these people who worked so incredibly hard on this film.
In the wake of the controversy, Netflix has removed Gascón from Emilia Pérez’ Oscar campaign. Furthermore, THR reports that Netflix will not facilitate Gascón’s attendance at the major awards shows left this season. Netflix typically pays for the transportation and lodging for its contenders. Now, there is “no great interest” for Netflix to provide the same courtesy for Gascón.
