\t\t\t\t\tHow the \u2018Unbelievable\u2019 Story of \u2018Emilia P\u00e9rez\u2019 Became \u2018Believable\u2019 Through Compelling\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tGomez, who plays Jessi del Monte in the Jacques Audiard-directed film, speaks Spanish in the movie but is not fluent in the language.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSelena is indefensible,\u201d Derbez said in a clip from the podcast, which was shared on TikTok<\/a>. \u201cI was there [watching the movie] with people, and every time a scene came [with her in it], we looked at each other and said, \u2018Wow, what is this?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDerbez agreed with Hablando de Cine<\/em> host Gaby Meza, who suggested that Gomez struggled to add nuance to her performance because Spanish isn\u2019t her first language and she didn\u2019t fully understand what she was saying.<\/p>\n

\n\tGomez responded to the criticism in the comments section of the TikTok post. \u201cI understand where you are coming from. I\u2019m sorry I did the best I could with the time I was given,\u201d the Only Murders in the Building<\/em> actress wrote. \u201cDoesn\u2019t take away from how much work and heart I put into this movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Grammy-nominated singer and actress also addressed Derbez\u2019s comments directly: \u201cAlso, do not ever say my fans are the problem standing up, as you say, for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe CODA<\/em> star later posted an apology to Gomez in a letter posted to TikTok<\/a>. \u201cI truly apologize for my careless comments \u2014 they are indefensible and go against everything I stand for,\u201d Derbez wrote. \u201cAs Latinos, we should always support one another. There\u2019s no excuse. I was wrong, and I deeply admire your career and your kind heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEmilia P\u00e9rez<\/em> tells the story of cartel boss Manitas del Monte (played by Sof\u00eda Gasc\u00f3n), who retires from the business to undergo gender reassignment surgery and become the titular character. The film\u2019s plot is further defined by musical numbers<\/a> that blend rock, pop and rap, all sung in Spanish, capturing the transformation of its central characters. The film also stars Zoe Salda\u00f1a.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
