Karla Sofia Gascón’s Oscar Triumph Marred by Controversial Tweet Backlash

Published

on

Karla Sofia Gascón made a notable appearance at the Oscars ceremony, although she opted to skip the red carpet amid backlash from previously resurfaced social media posts. The Spanish actress gained recognition for her historic nomination as the first openly transgender woman in the Best Actress category, choosing to stay out of the limelight ahead of the event.

Gascón’s presence was first highlighted during Conan O’Brien’s opening monologue, where the comedian humorously addressed potential challenges her publicist may have encountered this awards season. O’Brien quipped, “If you are going to tweet about the Oscars, remember, my name is Jimmy Kimmel.”

The controversy erupted when old tweets from 2020 and 2021 resurfaced, showcasing critical comments Gascón made about the diversity at the 2021 Oscars, where she likened the ceremony to a political protest. She also made inappropriate remarks regarding George Floyd, whose tragic death ignited global protests, and shared posts that some deemed offensive to the Muslim community.

Facing widespread backlash, Gascón issued an apology through Variety, stating, “I want to acknowledge the conversation surrounding my past social media posts that have caused pain. As someone who belongs to a marginalized community, I understand this suffering all too well, and I am deeply sorry for the harm I have caused. Throughout my life, I have advocated for a better world, and I firmly believe that light will ultimately prevail over darkness.”

Despite the controversy, Gascón’s participation in the Oscars marked a significant milestone, with her film ‘Emilia Pérez’ earning 13 nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director.

‘Banana Botox’ Goes Viral: Adah Sharma Tests the Unusual Beauty Hack

Published

on

Mumbai: Actress Adah Sharma has joined the viral ‘Banana Botox’ skincare trend, which has been gaining attention on social media. The unusual beauty hack involves rubbing the inside of a banana peel on the face.

The trend has become popular among people looking for simple and natural skincare methods. Supporters claim that banana peel can make the skin look smoother, softer and temporarily tighter.

Adah Sharma recently tried the hack and shared her experience with her followers on Instagram. In her humorous video, she called banana peel the “cheapest alternative to Botox” and showed how it is applied to the face.

“This is Banana Botox. Pick up a banana peel and stick it on your face with respect,” Sharma said jokingly.

She also made several humorous comments while trying the beauty hack. The actress said the method was inspired by another video and mentioned that it recommended using the hack every day for three weeks.

However, banana peel cannot replace Botox injections. While bananas and their peels contain nutrients and plant compounds, there is no strong evidence that rubbing a banana peel on the skin can produce results similar to Botox.

Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to specific facial muscles. It can reduce the appearance of certain wrinkles, with results generally lasting for several months.

Other established skincare ingredients, such as retinoids and vitamin C, can also help improve skin texture and support collagen production. Keeping the skin hydrated and maintaining a balanced, nutrient-rich diet can further support healthy-looking skin.

Experts also caution that natural skincare methods are not completely risk-free. Applying banana peel directly to the face may cause irritation or an allergic reaction, especially in people with sensitive skin.

Those trying a DIY skincare remedy should first test it on a small area of skin. The product should be washed off immediately if burning, itching, redness or irritation occurs.
