Chief Content Director Bellavajaria responded to the controversy swirling around “Emilia Perez” star Cara Sofia Gascon on Thursday’s episode of the “Town” podcast.

The film centers around wealthy trans women who try to redeem their characters’ pre-movement self by establishing a nonprofit that claims to help others.

Despite several award nominations, it didn’t take long for the trans star to fall from bounty amid a whirlwind of backlash.
