Karla Sofía continues to defend problematic tweets: 'Can't repair my past'
Karla Sofía Gascón is under fire for old racist and Islamophobic tweets

Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón, who is facing criticism after resurfaced social media posts, continues to defend problematic tweets.
The 52-year-old, who is first openly transgender actor nominated for an Academy Award, recently took to Instagram and post a heartfelt in Spanish after deleting her X account on Friday.
Writing on Instagram, Gascón penned, “The first thing I would like to do is to apologize to all those who have felt wrong by my way of expressing myself at any stage of my life.”
The transgender actor went on to say, “I have a lot to learn in this world, this being my main flaw. Life has taught me something I never wanted to learn: It is clear to me that no matter how much your message is one [thing], without using the correct words, it becomes another.”
According to the We Are the Nobles star, she has gone from living a normal life to a life at the top of her profession in just six months.
“Now my responsibility is very big because my voice does not only belong to me but to many people who feel represented and hoped with me,” she added.
“I clung to Nichiren Buddhism to change my life and those around me for the better, I think it has,” Gascón said, adding, “I can't repair my past acts, I can only say that today I'm not the same person I was 10 or 20 years ago, who even though I hadn't committed any crime I wasn't perfect either, I'm not even now. Just trying to learn and be a better person everyday.”
While talking about the past controversial tweets, the Box 507 actor said, “Anyone who knows me knows I'm not racist (they'll be surprised when they find out that one of the most important people in my current life and that I love most is Muslim) nor any of the things I've been judged and convicted for without judgment and no option to explain his true intention.”
According to the Emilia Pérez star, she has always fought for a more just society and a world of freedom, peace and love.
“I will never support wars, religious extremism or oppression of races and peoples,” Karla Sofía Gascón clarified.
