The Disney Channel alum respectfully clapped back at Mexico-born actor Eugenio Derbez for his comments on her latest film.
Selena Gomez respectfully clapped back after Eugenio Derbez criticized her Spanish in her latest film, “Emilia Pérez.”
The Hollywood Reporter Women In Entertainment Gala 2024 red carpet: Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lawrence and more “I feel like she doesn’t know what she’s saying,” Meza added. “If she doesn’t know what she’s saying, she can’t give her acting any nuance.” “But I told myself, ‘How weird that the director doesn’t speak English or Spanish and the movie is in Spanish and English, and it takes place in Mexico and you don’t understand the culture.’ It’s like if I made a film in Russian without knowing the culture or speaking Russian and talk in French.”“I truly apologize for my careless comments — they are indefensible and go against everything I stand for,” he wrote in part to Gomez.
“Emilia Pérez deserves to be celebrated, not diminished by my thoughtless remarks. I’m walking away from this with an important lesson learned.”Looking for great holiday gift ideas? Bloomingdale’s has your back
