Following the tweet, among others, resurfacing, the actress released an apology through the publication Variety, but it is unclear whether it’s directly related to the BTS tweet as Variety didn’t mention it.
I want to acknowledge the conversation around my past social media posts that have caused hurt,” she said in a statement to Variety. “As someone in a marginalized community, I know this suffering all too well and I am deeply sorry to those I have caused pain. All my life I have fought for a better world. I believe light will always triumph over darkness.
Gascón became the first openly trans actor to be nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars.
