Fans React to Selena Gomez’s Statement on Emilia Pérez Co-Star Drama.
Selena Gomez has spoken out about the controversy surrounding her Emilia Pérez co-star, Karla Sofía Gascón, and fans are buzzing with reactions.
After old social media posts resurfaced—including one where Gascón allegedly referred to Gomez as a "rich rat"—many were waiting to see how the actress would respond.
At the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Gomez addressed the situation with honesty and grace.
While she admitted that the controversy had "taken some of the magic away" from the film, she stood by the project, saying, "I would do this movie over and over again if I could."
Fans immediately took to social media to share their thoughts. Some praised Gomez for handling the situation with maturity, with one user tweeting, "Selena always takes the high road. That’s why she’s so respected."
Others, however, felt she deserved a stronger apology from Gascón, with comments like, "She shouldn’t have to deal with this disrespect."
Meanwhile, Gascón has denied making the offensive comment, adding another layer of debate among fans. While some believe in giving her the benefit of the doubt, others remain skeptical.
Despite the drama, Emilia Pérez continues to shine, earning 13 Oscar nominations. And as always, Selena Gomez proves that staying graceful under pressure is the best response to controversy.
