The actress’s old social media posts have threatened to derail the film’s Oscar campaign, but backlash has been building for months for other reasons.

"Emilia Pérez" director Jacques Audiard spoke out about Karla Sofía Gascón's offensive posts amid the backlash that Gascón has received in the past week.
