Netflix considers checking social networks of actors after controversy with Karla Sofa Gascoon

The controversy involving Karla Sofia Gascon and her ancient publications in the X on Islam, the George Floyd case and the Oscar continues to reverberate. Netflix’s content director, Bela Bajaria, commented on the episode related to the campaign to release “Emilia Pérez”, starring the Spanish actress.

The executive revealed that the streaming platform does not rule out the possibility of checking the social networks of its talents to avoid similar situations in the future. However, she also pointed out that this screening is not simple in practice. “Will this become a standard procedure from now on? I think the team did an incredible job in the ‘Emilia Pérez’ campaign and I believe this case is raising questions and leading many people to rethink,” he said.

Bajaria explained that there are internal discussions on the subject. “Let’s really monitor social networks of thousands of people around the world every day, considering the amount of original movies and series we license and co -produced?” He asked in an interview with The Town Podcast, led by journalist Matt Belloni. “I think this goes beyond what all this means. They are personal profiles of these people. But undoubtedly the situation raises these questions.”

She also lamented that the controversy diverted the focus of the movie. “It’s a pity for the amazing people who worked on this wonderful project,” Bajaria said. “If we look at the nominations and the awards that” Emilia Pérez “has already received, it’s sad. This diverted the attention of all this and ended up kidnapping the conversation about the incredible Jacques Audiard. It is also unfortunate for Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez, who passed Six months promoting the movie and saw the situation explode that way. “

“Emilia Pérez” has 13 Oscar 2025 nominations and faces turbulence in the promotional campaign since the old Gascon publications came to light. In early February, the actress announced her departure from the campaign to Oscar on March 2. With this, he has been absent from the Critics’ Choice Awards, from PGA Awards (Producers Union Award) and Goya, the “Spanish Oscar”. In addition, it is not on the Bafta Film Awards guest list, scheduled for next Sunday (16).
