As explained by two mustaches, when on January 30 “a series of tweets came to light, they made the decision to” suspend the publication of the book. ”
Last Monday, February 3, the editors sent an email to the actress explaining that her decision is because the editorial “has always been committed to equality, inclusion and diversity”, and that these values also defend them to a “personal” level. “Therefore, we must also be consistent with our way of thinking, and act in the most consistent way.”

After the impact of the outcrop of the messages of racist and Islamophobic content, Gascón has been separated from the promotion campaign of the Jacques Audiard film for the Oscar. The director has made hard statements this Thursday to the specialized media Deadline in which he qualifies the content of the tweets as “inexcusable”, and recognizes that he has not even contacted her. “I have not talked to her and I don’t want to do it. It is in a self -destructive attitude in which I cannot interfere and I really don’t understand why it continues. Why is it hurting itself?
The actress, who has made history as the first trans woman to get a nomination in the interpretation category, erased the messages, closed the X account and apologized for “the pain” he had caused. “They have threatened to death and veiled to the exhaustion,” he said in a statement.
