according to a new report.The controversial 52-year-old Best Actress nominee came under fire last week for a series of resurfaced, offensive posts on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that have been decried as racist, antisemitic and Islamophobic.
Because of the backlash, sources told The Hollywood Reporter the musical film’s distributor Netflix will not have Gascón fly from Spain to Los Angeles this week to attend the AFI Awards on Thursday, Critics’ Choice Awards on Friday or the Producers Guild Awards on Saturday.She is also a recipient of a Santa Barbara Film Festival Virtuoso Award, which will additionally honor the likes of Kieran Culkin, Ariana Grande, Mikey Madison and Gascon’s co-star Selena Gomez.
