The 2025 Academy Awards took to another level of excitement as Oscar Best Actress nominee Karla Sofia Gascon deactivated her X (formerly known as Twitter) after critics shared old tweets on social media.

Karla issued a lengthy statement to The Hollywood Reporter's entertainment website explaining why she's deactivating her X account.

The star of the Oscar-nominated film "Emilia Perez" also apologized for her old tweets, adding that she also received threats and abuse to her exhaustion.

“I’m sorry, but I can no longer allow this campaign of hate and misinformation to affect me and my family, so at their request I am closing my account on X,” said Karla, the first openly transgender performer to be nominated for an acting award.

"I have been threatened with death, insulted, abused, and harassed to the point of exhaustion. I have a wonderful daughter to protect, whom I love madly and who supports me in everything," Karla also said.

The THR reported that among her old tweets include weighing in on, among other things, the 2020 murder of George Floyd and ensuing racial reckoning, as well as decrying Muslim immigration in her native Spain and calling for a ban of “religions that go against European values.”

"Emilia Perez" is nominated for 13 Oscars, making it a Best Picture front-runner. The 2025 Oscar Awards will be held in Los Angeles, California, on March 2.

Fans are asking whether Karla will attend the Academy Awards. Karla has not made any statement about her attendance at the Oscars amid the ongoing scandal.

THR translated Karla's full post from Spanish. It read:

"I’m sorry, but I can no longer allow this campaign of hate and misinformation to affect neither my family nor me anymore, so at their request I am closing my account on X.

"I have been threatened with death, insulted, abused and harassed to the point of exhaustion.

"I have a wonderful daughter to protect, whom I love madly and who supports me in everything.

"I had long ago made the decision to close a social network [sic], which has taken a terrible turn, in which I have also sometimes fallen, and for which I apologize.

"As part of this society, I have expressed my disagreement or agreement with all the related issues that have touched me and of which I have had an opinion, often erroneous, which has changed throughout my own experience. I have always used my social media as a diary, reflections or notes, to later create stories or characters, not as something that would be scrutinized down to the last of its 140 characters, since sometimes I, myself, am not even aware of having written something negative.

"I have defended each and every one of the minorities in this world and supported freedom of religion and any action against racism and homophobia in the same way that I have criticized the hypocrisy that underlies them, because the first thing I am critical of is myself.

"You will never hear me support a war, an injustice, extremism or applaud anyone who oppresses other human beings.

"Perhaps my words are not correct, many times due to ignorance or pure mistake. I apologize again if anyone has ever felt offended or in the future.

"I am a human being who also made, makes and will make mistakes from which I will learn. I am not perfect. Taking my words out of context or manipulating them to hurt me is something I am not responsible for.

"I am only responsible for what I say, not for what others say I say or what others interpret from what I say.

"I hope to have the opportunity to give a more extensive explanation at some point.

"Forgive me because I keep going from one side to the other and I cannot be responding to every single thing you bring up to try to sink me.

"But if you want, you can continue attacking me as if I were responsible for hunger and wars in the world. I apologize again if I have ever offended anyone with my words in my life.

"I am only Karla Sofía Gascón, an actress who has reached where very few have thanks to her effort and work, without stealing or harming anyone in this world, just trying to get them to let me live in peace, love and respect, something that seems to bother a lot of people in this world.

"It is clear that there is something very dark behind it.

"But I tell you something: “The more you try to sink me, the stronger it will make me. The greater the victory will be.”

"Please forgive me once again if any of my words hurt you.

"Sincerely, Karla.
