Selena Gomez shared an “awkward” interaction with Karla Sofía Gascón at the 2025 Oscars – months after her Emilia Perez co-star’s alleged tweet about her…
The 97th Academy Awards had its fair share of dramatic moments, but one of the most talked-about interactions of the night involved Selena Gomez and her co-star, Karla Sofía Gascón.
The two actresses came face-to-face at Hollywood’s biggest night, which was held inside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Gascón, 52, was nominated for Best Actress but lost to Anora star Mikey Madison.
The Emilia Perez star came under fire for past posts criticizing Muslims and George Floyd. She also shared an alleged tweet about Gomez, 32, in 2022, but it was dug up by internet sleuths just ahead of the Oscars.
According to PEOPLE, Gascón reportedly called the Only Murders In The Building actress a “rich rat” who will “never stop bothering her ex-boyfriend and his wife,” referring to Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber.
But the Spanish star denied writing the message. In an interview with CNN Español last month- reportedly done without Netflix’s approval – she addressed the controversy, saying: “Of course that’s not mine.”
“I have never said anything about my colleague. I would never refer to her that way,” she added.
In a now-viral picture shared on social media, she was seen walking over to Gomez, who was seated in the audience at the Dolby Theatre. As she approached, the former Disney Channel star stood up, awkwardly kissed her co-star on the cheek, and quickly sat back down.
The moment didn’t go unnoticed by viewers, who quickly took to social media to share their thoughts. “Selena should stop talking with her. Karla is disgusting after everything she did,” one person wrote on X.
“This was definitely a choice like why would u do that,” a second said. “Yikes. Well that’s awkward,” a third added.
One person was not happy with Gomez greeting Gascón and said: “Imagine calling yourself a philanthropist, crying for your people from Mexico and then supporting a woman that has spoken against every minority.”
