Selena Gomez Reacts to Criticism Over ‘Indefensible’ Spanish in Netflix’s ‘Emilia Pérez’
New York Post ^ | Dec. 8, 2024 | Sabrina Picou

Selena Gomez respectfully clapped back after Eugenio Derbez criticized her Spanish in her latest film, “Emilia Pérez.” Her reaction came after the “How to Be a Latin Lover” actor appeared in a since-deleted episode of the “Hablando de Cine” podcast and described Gomez’s Spanish-speaking abilities as “indefensible.” “I understand where you are coming from..I’m sorry I did the best I could with the time I was given,” the actress wrote in the comments section of a podcast clip that had been reposted on TikTok.

“Doesn’t take away from how much work and heart I put into this movie.” The Mexico-born actor first shared his opinion on Gomez’s latest project during an interview with “Hablando de Cine” podcast host, Gaby Meza.

“Selena is indefensible,” Derbez, 63, said, according to Variety’s translation of the podcast. “I [watched ‘Emilia Pérez’] with people, and every time she had a scene, we looked at each other to say, ‘Wow, what is this?'”

What is the problem? I read the article and it didn’t say what they were critical of. Pronunciation? Accent? Bad acting?.........................

I remember racist Americans destroying Arnold Schwarzenegger’s career over his thick accent. Imagine the nerve of not speaking English as a native. Eff these effete bigots.

I don’t think she’s a native speaker, so they probably thought she should have studied harder.

Ironically, Arnold’s voice is dubbed in Austria/Germany because he apparently has a “hick” accent in German and sounds (to elite Germans) like a dummy.

Deep State elite assholes are the same in every country: USA, Mexico, Israel, Germany, whatever.

Yes, I saw that but it didn’t say what about her Spanish they were critical of.

Bad syntax? Bad pronunciation? Bad accent? what exactly?.................

Somehow I doubt the interview was conducted in proper Castilian instead of the “indefensible” Mexican mongrel tongue.
