Netflix Nightmare: Transgender Best Actress Nominee Karla Sofia Gascón Removed From Oscar Campaign After Social Media Uproar

Netflix has taken the extraordinary step of removing best actress Oscar nominee Karla Sofia Gascón from its Academy Awards campaign for Emilia Perez, cancelling appearances by the transgender performer and deleting any reference to Gascón from its Oscar-themed advertisements.

The decision comes as Karla Sofia Gascón — the first transgender performer ever nominated for an Oscar — continues to face widespread blowback over old social media posts in which the performer insulted Muslims, called George Floyd a “hustler,” and made disparaging remarks about black and Asian actors.

Her neck is twice the size of mine! As a pencil necked geek, I wouldn't believe she's a chick.

But she'd make a pretty good looking dood... I get doods want to be privileged chicks, but she's not convincing...

Nevertheless I hope she wins her competition despite not me understanding why she'd run, she could slay women on Tinder!
