Still, she insists she's proud of the Oscar-nominated film and says she "would do this movie over and over again if I could."

Zoe Saldaña was the first of Gascón's fellow “Emilia Pérez” actors to publicly address the controversy around Gascón’s past posts. In recent days, co-star Selena Gomez and director Jacques Audiard have also been asked to share their reactions. Here’s how Saldaña, Gomez and Audiard have responded to the backlash so far.

Selena Gomez appeared to make a backhanded comment about Emilia Pérez co-star Karla Sofía Gascón, who has drawn rebuke for disparaging posts about George Floyd and Muslims on social media. Gomez said that she had “no regrets” about appearing in the film but admitted that some of the hype around the movie—which received a record-breaking number of nominations for this year’s Oscars—had evaporated in light of the controversy.
