In the event you’ve been following this complete saga since journalist Sarah Hagi unearthed the trove of tweets — largely relationship from 2020 to this 12 months — earlier this week, you understand that the state of affairs has entered full-on harm management territory. Costar Zoe Saldaña distanced herself from Karla’s tweets in a Q&A yesterday, saying that the complete state of affairs “makes me actually unhappy as a result of I don’t help [it], and I don’t have any tolerance for any unfavourable rhetoric in direction of individuals of any group.”
Karla, in the meantime, has issued a whopping three statements on the matter — each longer than the final. On Thursday night time, she provided an apology of kinds, and on Friday morning she deactivated her Twitter account and issued an extended assertion that, amidst a number of makes an attempt to apologize additional, insinuated that the resurfaced tweets are a part of a coordinated marketing campaign to harm her Oscar probabilities.
So, let’s zoom in on that assertion for a second. At one level, she claims that “They’ve created posts as if it had been me insulting even my colleagues,” which insinuates two issues: One, that the posts themselves (which, whereas they had been up, had been very clearly actual and not fabricated) have been on the very least distorted in that means, and two, that there have been apparently posts circulating (actual or pretend) about people who Karla has labored with.
Selena is, as you in all probability know, one in every of Karla’s costars in Emilia Peréz. And, in keeping with a report from the Latin Occasions, Karla allegedly had a previous tweet that referenced Selena too — and never in a pleasant manner.
The alleged tweet dates again to 2022, during which Karla allegedly quote-tweeted a information story about Selena and Hailey Bieber.
“She’s a wealthy rat who performs the poor bastard at any time when she will and can by no means cease bothering her ex-boyfriend and his spouse,” Karla allegedly tweeted. She does not title Selena particularly, but when the tweet is actual, it isn’t too exhausting to determine who she’d allegedly be speaking about.
OK, grain of salt time. Tweets are fabricated on-line on a regular basis — and provided that this explicit alleged tweet includes Selena Gomez, a celeb who the web usually refuses to behave regular about, as a lot because the tweet appears to be in keeping with Karla’s different tweets, it additionally appears equally attainable that this explicit tweet is, as Karla has advised, not actual.
In fact, it will be simpler to inform if the tweet truly existed if Karla hadn’t deactivated her account — which very nicely may’ve been her intention in doing so. At any price, we have reached out to Karla and Selena’s reps for remark and we’ll let you understand if we hear again.
