The transgender star of Emilia Pérez, Karla Sofía Gascón, has come under fire over anti-Islam and anti-BLM social media posts that have resurfaced online. The Mail has more.
Gascón, 52, who is currently nominated for Best Actress [sic] at the Academy Awards for his starring role in the musical Emilia Pérez, has been slammed over the “hurtful” posts, which criticise Islam, the Oscars, and George Floyd.
The posts, which were dug up by Muslim writer Sarah Hagi and translated into English by Variety, have since been deleted from Gascón’s X account (formerly known as Twitter).
One post, from November 2020, read: “I’m sorry. Is it just my impression or is there more Muslims in Spain? Every time I go to pick up my daughter from school there are more women with their hair covered and their skirts down to their heels. Next year instead of English we’ll have to teach Arabic.”
Another post from September 2020 featured a photo of a Muslim family dining in a restaurant in traditional Islamic attire, which included the wife covered from head-to-toe in a black burqa.
“Islam is marvellous, without any machismo. Women are respected, and when they are so respected they are left with a little squared hole on their faces for their eyes to be visible and their mouths, but only if she behaves. Although they dress this way for their own enjoyment. How DEEPLY DISGUSTING OF HUMANITY,” Gascón wrote.
In 2021 Gascón wrote that “Islam fails to comply with international rights”, and “I am so sick of so much of this s**t, of Islam, of Christianity, of Catholicism and of all the fucking beliefs of morons that violate human rights”.
He also posted about George Floyd, whose murder by Minneapolis police, as he protested “I can’t breathe”, sparked the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020.
Gascón wrote: “I really think that very few people ever cared about George Floyd, a drug addict swindler, but his death has served to once again demonstrate that there are people who still consider black people to be monkeys without rights and consider policemen to be assassins. They are both wrong.”
The actor added: “Too many things to reflect on regarding the behaviour of our species every time an event occurs. Perhaps it is no longer a question of racism, but of social classes that feel threatened by each other. Maybe that’s the only real difference.”
Another diverse person who missed the intersectional memo – always one for the popcorn.
A particular highlight from 2021 is him slamming the Oscars for going all-in on diversity – when his own film this year is undeservedly nominated for 13 awards because it’s all about a transvestite:
More and more the #Oscars are looking like a ceremony for independent and protest films, I didn’t know if I was watching an Afro-Korean festival, a Black Lives Matter demonstration or the 8M. Apart from that, an ugly, ugly gala.
He’s now released a grovelling statement trying to limit the damage – though notably not actually retracting any of the statements, just apologising for the “pain”.
I want to acknowledge the conversation around my past social media posts that have caused hurt.
As someone in a marginalised community, I know this suffering all too well and I am deeply sorry to those I have caused pain. All my life I have fought for a better world. I believe light will always triumph over darkness.

Of course.
The revolving door shows how big pharma controls government, mandating vaxxes, dictate policy.
There ought to be a law against this, at least a 5 year cooling off between high office and private sector.
Part of the cooling off process might be to avoid buying products from companies that do that.
How about we just shrink the bureaucracy? That way we don’t have to add more rules the already giant mountain of rules and regulations.
I’m going to go out on a limb here but my prediction is that if we didn’t have a Chief Medical Officer we would be absolutely fine. I’d go even further to suggest that we could get rid of most of the jobs in the Department of Health and Social Care and things wouldn’t not only not get worse, but they might even go better.
Doctors (who can act independently), nurses etc, yes, plenty of that.
Health bureaucrats. No thanks.
Things would definitely get better. The covid reaction, cheered on by the health industry, killed more people than it “saved”. Would our health suffer if we got rid of the WHO?
Our health will DEFINITELY suffer if we don’t get rid of the WHO.
It has already.
Agree 100%.. and I’m not so sure we need government either..
We don’t need more laws.
“Before granting any new power or prerogative to the state, first imagine that power wielded by the politician you hate most, because one day it will be.”
10 years would be better as after that length of time the value of the rat jumping the ship would be Net Zero
If only more people had seen through the whole covid vax scam instead of meekly rolling up their sleeves taking the toxic vax the whole hysteria driven scam would have collapsed. As for me, I suspected fraud from the very beginning and the minute Bill Gates knocked on the door of No 10 and his shill Boris Johnson was banging pots and pans the whole scam was flashing caution like a Belisha beacon.
Should be taking up roll as a prison cook or sawing post bags. Sharing a cell with his mates Vallance and Witty.
I thought the exact same thing! These three destroyed lives, why are the still out on the street?
sickening isn’t it?
Judy’s.
I meant of course Judas
No, it’s fantastic.
The one thing we’ve been absolutely able to rely upon is these peoples stupidity.
Now even the most pro Covid hysterics are going to be raising their eyebrows at this ill timed action,scratching their heads and maybe wondering if the ‘conspiracists’ may just have had a point all along?
It all works in our favour.
“The fact that Moderna snapped him up so quickly proves that the government appoints the Top Scientists in the Country to advise them! Our NHS is the envy of the world!”
Sadly the nhs is hardly the envy of anyone’s world.
sorry this is so disgusting. That man has profited on deaths and misery, he used his influence to ruin the country, to abuse children forced a lie and experimental injections on us, and now he goes to his true masters for his big pay off. The fact that he knows we know and he doesn’t care. he is literally rubbing our noses in sh1t.
What next I wonder Mitchie the monster and Farrsr are safely ensconced in the WHO so they can create more tyranny and despair. I just wait on Whitty and Valance although the latter has more than handsomely profited already, to show up in a Phsrma, the WEF. The UN
WHO or one of the Gates Rockerfella scams.
When if ever will justice be served on these serpents.
Apologies to snakes
They are all doing nicely for playing their part in the plandemic.
It’s not just unsafe covid jabs that are being being promoted. Rexulti, a new antipsychotic drug for agitation in Alzheimer’s has been shown to have little beneficial effect and yet it is being fast tracked for licensing by the FDA despite an increased risk of death of four fold in the control group over the placebo group.
“The FDA has set a dangerous precedent about the data it may require for future drug approvals for this vulnerable patient group.”
Alarm as FDA fast-tracks first antipsychotic drug for agitation in dementia
Do your own research before taking anything.
“Do your own research…”
For that reason I declined the recent offer of a Shingles vaccination (look at the NNT and the side effects, folks, as well as the cost to the taxpayer). Only this week I hear of a friend of a friend who developed chickenpox (which she thought she’d had in childhood) just a few days after vaccination. Not a pleasant infection to get in your seventies.
“Van-Tam was a member of the Vaccine Taskforce, which the Government said made decisions on “all vaccine supply contracts..”
The cynisim behind ‘No one is safe until everyone is safe’ is laid bare.
Never trust a word these cretins say again.
“re-opening the debate about Government officials transitioning to the private sector roles and the potential misuse of privileged information”
The debate was never closed. Actually, what debate? They are all in cahoots. Unholy cahoots.
I don’t think I want the state to be responsible for my health – or anyone else’s.
He’ll need the saline substitute or the ‘real’ thing will probably kill him.
Now wouldn’t *that* be a turn up for the books?
This short arse needs to be held to account for the months and months of utter lies and BS he spouted..
What a vile human being
Rewarded for lying to the British people; playing his part in wrecking the economy and ruining the lives of millions.
Why am I not surprised?
Poor diddums, obviously his gold-plated, taxpayer funded final salary pension wasn’t enough for him to get by in the standard he’s been used to.
As the reports of SADS, myocarditis, strokes and other serious adverse events and deaths continue to roll in and data analyst experts are censored by the government via the NHS post covid vaxx, one of the men who carried out the evil plot is catapulted to the top. Something is SERIOUSLY wrong.
The Road to the killing fields are paved with impunity & reward
Entirely predictable unfortunately. I hope his conscious is clear but it looks deeply troubling to me.
They may have snapped him up so quickly so they can keep their strangle hold on the truth. Which I mean, what really happened.
He is less likely to be a witness for the prosecution in the ‘fold’ under their employment and control.
