Karla Sofía Gascón breaks down in tearful apology

The 52-year-old Oscar nominee faced a backlash after old tweets showing her commenting on the death of George Floyd resurfaced. This prompted her to delete her X account last week and issue a statement in which she defended herself from the online abuse she has been subjected to. Appearing on CNN en Español on Saturday evening, the Emilia Pérez star broke down in tears as she addressed the furore and explained why she is refusing to withdraw from the upcoming 2025 Oscars. She said, "I cannot renounce a nomination because what I have done is a job and what is being valued is my acting work.”.
