Breitbart: Nolte: Cosmic Justice Comes for Netflix and Karla Sofia Gascón
Netflix's $30 million Oscar campaign for "Emilia Perez," a film about a drug cartel kingpin who transitions to a woman, has backfired due to the controversial social media history of its star, Karla Sofia Gascón.

The situation raises questions about Netflix's due diligence in vetting its talent, especially in an era where social media scrutiny is commonplace.
