Oscar nominee Karla Sofía Gascón, the star of “Emilia Pérez,” is staying in the race for best actress despite controversy over offensive social media posts.

In a tearful interview that Netflix did not authorize, the ‘Emilia Pérez’ star denied calling her costar Selena Gomez a “rich rat” and accused her detractors of unearthing “false” intel to derail her best-actress campaign.

The "Emilia Pérez" star was accused of racism, Islamophobia, and more after a series of past posts resurfaced online.
