“Of course that’s not mine,” Gascón said during a Saturday night interview with CNN en Español. “I have never said anything about my partner. I would never refer to her that way.”
Variety has learned that the CNN interview was set up by Gascón and not through Netflix, the distributor of “Emilia Pérez.”

The day prior, Gascón took to Instagram to share a lengthy response regarding the social media controversy, making similar claims about how her words were manipulated or taken out of context.
“They have already won, they have achieved their objective, to stain my existence with lies or things taken out of context,” she wrote on Saturday morning. “Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a racist (you will be surprised when you find out that one of the most important people in my current life and that I love the most is Muslim) nor any of the things for which I have been judged and condemned without trial and without option to explain true intention; I have always fought for a more just society and for a world of freedom, peace and love. I will never support wars, religious extremism or the oppression of races and peoples.”
