Best actress Oscar nominee Karla Sofía Gascón is vowing to stay silent.
The Spanish actress, who has come under fire for offensive comments she wrote on the social platform X, took to Instagram Thursday to announce that she is staying silent for the rest of the Emilia Pérez awards campaign.
In the post’s caption, Gascón referenced an interview Emilia Pérez director Jacques Audiard gave to Deadline, where he said he was no longer in contact with her and condemned her offensive posts, in which she made comments about Islam, George Floyd and the high amount of diversity at the Oscars.
“Following Jacques interview that I understand, I decided, for the film, for Jacques, for the cast, for the incredible crew who deserves it, for the beautiful adventure we all had together, to let the work talk for itself, hoping my silence will allow the film to be appreciated for what it is, a beautiful ode to love and difference,” Gascón wrote.
She ended her post by apologizing to those she has hurt.
“I sincerely apologize to everyone who has been hurt along the way,” Gascón wrote.
Season 4 of BMF is on the horizon, set to return to Starz in June. The season will pick up with the Flenory brothers still in Mexico, where they’d traveled to rescue their key supplier, who was arrested. While also there to secure and expand their business operations, they’re left fighting to survive amid several life-and-death situations.
The brothers’ “chaotic and relationship-altering mission in Mexico” is teased in a promo clip for the series, which starts with Terry holding Meech, who had just been shot, in the middle of a desert. As one clip finds their father, Charles, expressing concern about Meech and his whereabouts, others see Meech on the run in Mexico and in the middle of some shootouts. Meech then receives a prophesy about his rise in the game, before the infamous question of the season is asked.
The answer to “What the f*** happened in Mexico?” will be answered starting June 6 at 9 p.m. ET/PT in the U.S. and Canada.
First-look images also show what fans can expect, including Meech and Terry’s expansion to St. Louis, Markisha’s quest to be taken seriously as Terry’s business partner, and the aftermath of Lucille and Charles’ divorce.
According to Deadline, it’s not clear if season 4 of BMF will be the final one. While sources close to production say Starz “is pleased with Season 4 creatively” and is “looking forward to sharing new action-packed episodes with fans,” the future of the show has yet to be determined.
