Part 3/7:
The storm intensified with the emergence of controversial tweets from Carla Sophia Gasone’s past. In a series of posts that are only a few years old, Gasone revealed sentiments about Muslims, George Floyd, and the Oscars' diversity policies—views that many found offensive or at odds with her current image as a progressive icon.
Her response has been to deny the authenticity of these tweets, claiming they were fabricated or taken out of context. Gasone’s attempt at damage control involved tearful interviews on CNN Español, where she insisted she is not a racist or someone with harmful views. However, critics and the general public have remained skeptical, viewing her protestations as an attempt to dodge accountability while her past comments continue to circulate.
