Karla Sofía Gascón has broken her silence on why she missed her “Emilia Pérez” co-star Selena Gomez’s wedding to Benny Blanco, and clarified that her absence had nothing to do with rumored tensions. Speaking at the Los40 Music Awards in Valencia, Spain, Gascón explained that work commitments kept her from attending the intimate celebration.

“I’m working,” Gascón said in Spanish, noting that her packed schedule leaves little time even for her family. “I don’t even see my own family,” she added, joking that she would be “ruined” if she had to pay for Gomez’s wedding. Gomez, 33, and music producer tied the knot in September in Santa Barbara, California, surrounded by close family and friends. The wedding drew several A-list attendees, including Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Steve Martin, and Martin Short, who co-star with Gomez on “Only Murders in the Building.” Gomez’s “Emilia Pérez” co-star Zoe Saldaña was also present, making Gascón’s absence more noticeable.
Earlier this year, speculation about a rift between Gascón and Gomez resurfaced when an old 2022 tweet allegedly posted by Gascón appeared online, calling Gomez a “rich rat.” The message reportedly criticized the singer-actress for her public reunion with Hailey Bieber, the wife of Gomez’s ex, Justin Bieber, at the 2022 Academy Museum Gala. “She’s a rich rat who plays the poor bitch whenever she can and will never stop bothering her ex-boyfriend and his wife,” the tweet read, according to the Latin Times.
The resurfaced post sparked backlash against Gascón, who also faced renewed scrutiny over other controversial tweets from 2016 to 2023. Gascón publicly apologized for her past offensive posts but insisted that the alleged tweet directed at Gomez was fabricated. “Those comments are fake,” she said, stressing that she holds deep respect for all her Emilia Pérez co-stars. The pair reunited at the 2025 Oscars in March, where Gascón was seen approaching Gomez and her now-husband, Benny Blanco, ahead of the ceremony. The two greeted each other with a brief kiss on the cheek before parting ways.
