Netflix drops Karla Sofia Gascon from Oscars campaign

Netflix has dropped Karla Sofia Gascon, the star of Emilia Perez, from its high-profile Oscars campaign and distanced itself from the best actress nominee over her offensive social media posts, Hollywood trade outlets reported on Tuesday.

Images of Gascon had adorned posters, billboards and advertisements for the musical film, which earned 13 Oscar nods more than any other movie this year.

But that campaign has abruptly changed tack, after old social media posts were uncovered and widely shared last week in which Gascon made insulting statements.
