Actress Karla Sofía Gascón has made her first public appearance since a scandal erupted over old tweets containing hateful language. She attended the César Awards of French Cinema, marking her return to the public eye after the controversy.
Gascón Attends César Awards
The revelation of Gascón's old tweets, which contained xenophobic and racist sentiments, caused a significant backlash. Her appearance at the César Awards was highly anticipated, as it was her first time at a public event since the scandal broke. While Jacques Audiard's film "Emilia Pérez" received seven awards, including Best Film and Best Director, Gascón and co-star Zoe Saldaña were not recognized for their leading roles.
"It's important to remember that everyone is capable of growth and change, and hopefully, Karla will take this opportunity to learn and evolve," a film critic commented.
