Karla Sofía Gascón's comeback after the controversy over her tweets: she is maintaining all her film projects and will work with Los Javis

If Karla Sofía Gascón's case could be summed up in a proclamation it would be "Karla lives, the fight continues." Because after the Netflix ban , after being ousted by Jacques Audiard , after the cancellation of the reissue of her novel ... the storm over her tweets with racist and Islamophobic content seems to have subsided. Because this present time creates, elevates and forgets controversies in the time it takes a child to build a Lego castle.

Just two weeks ago, the Spanish actress's career seemed dead and buried, as did her relationship with Netflix, despite being the face of its big bet for the Oscars, Emilia Pérez . And yet, suddenly everything has changed again: the platform has lifted the veto it imposed on her on the 4th and will allow her presence at the gala on Sunday , where she is nominated for Best Actress. Although the statuette is ruled out - she was not a favorite before either - the gesture is important because it represents an armistice.

And on Monday, Karla Sofía Gascón will have a professional future. Last December, when the actress from Emilia Pérez was aiming for a brilliant star, she was announced as the lead in Las malas , the film adaptation of the novel by the Argentinean Camila Sosa, directed by Armando Bo and in whose production Suma Content, the production company of Los Javis, is participating, in what will be her first international experience.

This remains the case despite all the controversy that has been generated in recent weeks. "There is nothing new," say the production company of Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi. "Nothing has changed," says a second person involved in the project. Karla Sofía Gascón will continue to be the star of the film. What's more, all the contracts that the actress had signed and that extended for more than a year remain in place , according to sources consulted by EL MUNDO.

The actress's entourage is keeping quiet for the moment. At least until the Oscars are over. In fact, for weeks, specifically since a minimal comment on her Instagram on February 7, Karla Sofía Gascón has kept a low profile. She did not respond to the statements of Jacques Audiard, who in an interview with Deadline said that the protagonist of his film was playing the "victim," described the actress's messages on the social network X as "hateful" and defined her comments as "unforgivable." There was also no statement about the cancellation of the new version of her novel, announced by this newspaper, by the publishing house Dos Bigotes.

Furthermore, the relationship with Netflix, which is aware of this strategy of silence, has been put back on track . The audiovisual giant is in charge of distributing Emilia Pérez in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom and was the one that decided to remove the actress from Alcobendas from all the awards galas in Los Angeles prior to the Oscars. However, for the big gala on Sunday it has lifted the veto, now that the controversy has been deflating with the passing of the days.

Her co-stars have also begun to comment on the Spanish actress. Zoe Saldaña, the favourite for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, called on Tuesday for the entire cast of Emilia Pérez - which had been awarded in its entirety at Cannes for its performance - to reunite on Sunday . " I think it's important that we finish this chapter as a team, as the project began ," said Saldaña at an event in Los Angeles, reported by EFE. In fact, it is very likely that the four actresses will go to the red carpet together, including Karla Sofia.

We must remember that there was a day when everyone loved the actress from Madrid. That the Minister of Culture received her in his office. That the President of the Government congratulated her on X. That all the galas longed for her. That Demi Moore was on WhatsApp with her. That Madonna cried to meet her. That Spain dreamed of another star from Alcobendas. That a star was born and that from one day to the next, with a few tweets, she disappeared.

After eight days in which her success seemed to be crumbling , Karla Sofía Gascón has been slowly returning to that path. The Goya Awards gala on February 9 was a good example when, after days of controversy, Spanish cinema closed ranks with her colleague . Many of the actors alluded to the fact that the cancellation against her was disproportionate and even that it was a witch hunt, increased by the fact that she is a woman and trans. Demi Moore had already remembered her, despite being absent, the night before when collecting the award for best actress at the Critics Choice. And that climate is what has been spreading in recent days.

If Hollywood forgave Will Smith's slap , the Madrid native's tweets seem to follow the same path.
