Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón is the first openly trans actress to be nominated for an Academy Award .

The Oscar nominee has been accused of Islamophobic and racist remarks on her personal X account.

The posts were first publicized in a viral X thread from writer and podcaster Sarah Hagi .

Gascón 's comments to a Brazilian newspaper went viral.

She seemed to suggest that supporters of the film I'm Still Here and its star Fernanda Torres were orchestrating a campaign against her.

After these comments were widely picked up, she issued a clarification: “I am an enormous fan of Fernanda .

I was referencing the toxicity and violent hate speech on social media that I sadly continue to experience,” she said.
