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.

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

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.
