Gascón in 2018

In 2018, having completed most of hergender transition, Gascón published a magical realist memoir,Karsia, Una historia extraordinaria (Karsia: an Extraordinary Story) under the name Carlos Gascón. It doubled as a public announcement of her new identity as Karla Sofía Gascón.[4][8]

She portrayed Lourdes Buendía in the teen drama seriesRebelde (2022).[19] In 2024, she starred inJacques Audiard's musical crime filmEmilia Pérez, which premiered at the2024 Cannes Film Festival. In it, she portrays a powerfulcartel leader who is married with children. The character fakes her death,medically transitions from male to female, and assumes a new life as Emilia Pérez.[20]

In January 2025, after herAcademy Award for Best Actress nomination forEmilia Pérez, a series of tweets Gascón made between 2019 and 2021 resurfaced. They were identified as containingbigoted speech against several communities,[24][25][26][27] including one calling Islam a "hotbed of infection for humanity",[26] ones withCatalanophobic content,[28] and one wondering whether the Oscars had become an "Afro-Korean festival", a "Black Lives Matter demonstration", orInternational Women's Day.[29] Gascón deleted the tweets and apologized,[30][31][32] then deactivated her X account the next day.[33] In February 2025 she was dropped from promotional activities forEmilia Pérez, including award shows (Premios Goya), and her book's publication was canceled.[34][35] Gascón described herself as a victim ofcancel culture.[34]

Many of the tweets—posted in Spanish, largely from 2020–2021 (though some are more recent)—are too disparaging and offensive to reprint here, but they include sentiments that run the gamut from Islamophobic, xenophobic, and racist to antisemitic.
