Actress Karla Sofía Gascón banned from Netflix due to her controversial tweets

The platform has chosen to leave the Madrid actress out of the movie's promotion.

Karla Sofía Gascón's viral tweets are taking a toll on her. Let's remember that the woman is the talk of the town after her comments on social media.

In them, she harshly criticized Islam and the community. "Islam is becoming a source of infection for humanity that needs to be urgently cured." That's what one of the tweets published by the actress says.

When these messages that the woman promoted became known, she decided to speak about it. More specifically, she wanted to wash her hands of it and reiterated that all those accusations she was receiving were causing her a lot of "pain."

However, despite this, Netflix has made a decision. The platform has chosen to leave the Madrid actress out of the film's promotion during the awards season in Los Angeles.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has decided not to cover travel expenses for the star of Jacques Audiard's narcomusical. Before the scandal, she was one of the main favorites, along with Demi Moore, to win the Oscar for Best Actress.

As a result, the Spanish actress will not attend the AFI (American Film Institute) Awards luncheon to be held this Thursday. Nor the Critics Choice Awards ceremony this Friday in Santa Monica, where Gascón was nominated for Best Actress.

In addition to this, it was planned that the presenter would be the host of the Directors Guild Awards and the Producers Guild Awards. However, she has also been banned from doing this job due to the platform's decision.

The director of the film Emilia Pérez, which is giving her notoriety, Jacques Audiard, in a recent interview, spoke about Spanish. He said that "it's a language of emerging countries, modest countries, poor people, and migrants."

These statements have caused a great stir and have been harshly criticized on social media. Additionally, they add to the controversial statements by Karla Sofía, who has expressed that "the greatest setback in rights is found in Islamism."

She commented on her personal experience saying: "Every time I go to pick up my daughter from school, I see more women with their hair covered and skirts down to their ankles. Maybe next year, instead of English, we'll have to teach Arabic... and sacrifice a lamb."
