Emilia Pérez director Jacques Audiard is also distancing himself from star Karla Sofía Gascón following the surfacing of controversial comments made by the actress, telling Deadline he has no desire to speak to her.
Speaking to Deadline in a recent interview, Audiard expressed how openly disappointed he was in Gascón, and said he hasn’t spoken to her and does not want to.
Audiard also said he didn’t understand why Gascón has continued to react to things the way she has, saying it is “self-destructive” and harming those involved in the film. “I haven’t spoken to her, and I don’t want to,” said Audiard. “She is in a self-destructive approach that I can’t interfere in, and I really don’t understand why she’s continuing.
Why is she harming herself? Why? I don’t understand it, and what I don’t understand about this too is why she’s harming people who were very close to her.
I’m thinking in this thing of how hurting others, of how she’s hurting the crew and all these people who worked so incredibly hard on this film.
