When Demi Moore pronounced The name of Karla Sofía Gascón In the criticism awards in the United States, many of those present asked what the best actress of the season was doing mentioning the one that has clearly become a couple. He referred to her by listing all her rivals for the statuette and, by appointing her, alluded to the elephant in the room that everyone tried to avoid. The situation could not be more different just 24 hours later on the other side of the Atlantic, during the celebration of the Goya in Granada.
Karla Sofía Gascón, who has never stepped on the red carpet of the Goya, did not attend the ceremony on this occasion social networks through. It has not been a predictable agenda -as corresponds to the protagonist of a film of the success of ‘Emilia Pérez’-, but the cancellation he is suffering from his controversial tweets. However, His figure was practically omnipresent In the moments before the act, since the press did not hesitate to ask the attendees their opinion about it. And could not be more different from that of the United States.
Simultaneously to the cancellation that the actress of ‘Emilia Pérez’ has suffered in the North American country, the world of Spanish cinema has shown greater indulgence Before racist, Islamophobic and extreme right tweets of Gascón. Without hiding their dislike for the messages of the Madrid, many of their classmates have expanded the debate: do you have to separate a person artist as they proposed Macarena Gómez and her husband, Aldo Comas? Is there transphobia in the background of this scandal as others suggested?
“This It has been used a bit as an excuse to end it When in Hollywood, in this industry, there are pedophilia, constant abuses to women, racism, transphobia, everything. Look how the United States is now with Trump. My trans sisters are being removed from passports, they are leaving them without the option of legally horming, they will have to do it illegally, ”he said Jedethowever, he did not hesitate to cross out “disgusting” Gascón’s tweets.
In the same line, the nominated for Best Revelation Actress by ‘Salve María’, Laura Weissmahr: «I don’t agree with the tweets, but I think what is happening It is more transphobia than a really political cancellation. I think we are forgetting the moment in which the US is right now, that it cannot be linked. You can never see only one thing, you always have to see the whole system behind and cannot be a coincidence.
Also The Javisthat co -produce the film based on the novel of ‘Las Malays’ -whose cast heads, for the moment, Gascón -manifested about it. «I think we will have to reflect. For my part, although he condemns all kinds of racism and intolerance towards minorities, I do not want to continue being part of the signal, because I think it was already. There has been enough, it has been understood, it has become clear, ”said Javi Calvo, who considered” very sad “that this controversy has occurred with” the first transination of a trans woman. “
The winner of the Goya for Best Actress for ‘La Infiltrada’, Carlota Yustehe also spoke in similar terms: «It seems to me that it is always much more interesting to repair, become aware of the year, try to improve, to burst. I do not understand very well what the measure of measuring when there are some cases so obvious, because aggressions, batter rapists are in a lot of places And they are still in those spaces ».
«I believe that Karla’s work is still as good as it was before. She has already decided to retire. Has received a wave I think excessiveas is the whole world of networks, and Destroyer. She also, with her opinions, which exclude people has generated violence. I do not wish this evil to anyone. Either to her. I do not want its elimination, neither revenge or cancel it. He has apologized, it seems that in a slightly more resounding way. You have to leave it alonehas suffered a lot, like all those who have felt attacked by their words, ”reflected the Honor Goya, Aitana Sánchez-Gijón.
Likewise, singer C Tangana acknowledged that Gascón gives him “sorrow” and said that “everything could take tweets like this” and that there is “nobody who has not said a barbarity.” Even his speech by collecting one of the two Goyas he won was positioned in this regard: «I constantly mistaken, I have to apologize and I think you too. Let’s be understanding and forgive and let people make mistakes. The greater the error, the more we need the forgiveness of others».
Cancellation in the United States
All these comments contrast with the position of the industry in the United States, where Gascón has suffered a real lynching. The director of ‘Emilia Pérez’, Jacques Audiard, charged in an interview against the actress and protagonist of her film for the comments “Absolutely hateful and worthy of being hated” that the interpreter published.
Audiard recriminated to the actress to be “the victim”, something that, in his opinion, is “surprising.” “It’s as if he thought that words do not hurt,” he said in the interview, after shaving the interpreter who is damaging others with a “self -destructive.” «I am thinking of how is it hurting othersto the team and all the people who have worked so incredibly hard in this film, ”he said.
Because of his unjustifiable messages, Netflix has been sharing for days movie posters without photos of the actress and focusing on the rest of the cast. It is paradoxical, because Gascón gives life precisely to the character of Emilia Pérez. It is not, however, the only thing. Hollywood Reporter reports that they have also excluded their name from the electronic promotion emails for the Oscars and, worse for her, they have erased her from upcoming key events.
In this line, Gascón He did not attend the Gala of the Critics’ Awards last Friday (Where he opted for the best actress, who won Demi Moore) nor to that of the directors union on Saturday or the Goya. On Sunday I was going to travel to Santa Barbara, California, to receive the Virtuoso Award, an award that shared with nine other actors. However, it will not be there either.
After the fierce criticism and statements of the director of ‘Emilia Pérez’, the Spanish interpreter has decided to depart from the media focus: «After the interview [del realizador]that I understand, I decided, for the movie, by Jacques, for the cast, for the incredible team that deserves it, for the beautiful adventure we all had together, let the work speak for itself. I hope my silence allows the movie to be appreciated for what it is, a beautiful ode to love and difference. I sincerely apologize to all those who have been injured on the way ». To know the end of the Calvary of the Spanish actress, you can only expect.
