Karla Sofía Gascón Responds to Conan O'Brien's Jokes About Her at the Oscars: 'I Really Enjoyed It'

'Emilia Pérez' star and Best Actress nominee to the Oscars, Karla Sofía Gascón took jokes from host Conan O'Brien about her recent controversy in stride.

In his opening monologue, which began with a sketch that parodied acclaimed film 'The Substance,' O'Brien addressed the elephant in the room directly.

"Little fact for you, 'Anora' uses the f-word 479 times. That's three more than the record set by Karla Sofía Gascón's publicist. 'You tweeted what?!'... Karla Sofía Gascón is here tonight. And, Karla, if you're going to tweet about the Oscars, remember, my name is Jimmy Kimmel."

Gascón took to social media in kind to reply to O'Brien's light jab at her recent troubles in the court of public opinion.

"Thanks to the members of @theacademy for the nomination for best leading actress, for the invitation to the gala; I really enjoyed it, very amiable and funny, especially your fabulous host Jimmy Kimmel, he is fantastic, every day he looks more like the great Conan O'Brien."

When the camera cut to the 'Emilia Pérez' star for her reaction, she let out a laugh before turning to her friend, presumably to translate the joke in Spanish.

Her graceful response to O'Brien's comments is a sharp contrast to her previous response to the situation.

After several social media posts of hers that were seen as racist and Islamophobic resurfaced, the Spanish actress faced intense backlash online. She posted a half-apology on social media, claiming that she had changed as a person since making those comments and that some were fabricated.

Gascón then went behind Netflix's back to do an unfiltered, tearful interview with CNN en Español in which she claimed that she was not a racist and that she has not been given a fair chance to defend herself.

After Netflix removed her from their promotional campaign for the film after the controversy regarding her past social media posts, many speculated whether or not Gascón would attend the prestigious ceremony, with some calling for her nomination for Best Actress to be rescinded.
