Emma Roberts Apologized to Angelica Ross for a Cruel Transphobic Remark
's Emma Roberts has reportedly apologized after her former costar publicly called her out for a demeaning and transphobic remark she made on the set of AHS: 1984.In an Instagram Live, actor, advocate, and businesswoman recounted a comment Roberts made while they were working together: Roberts whined (in jest) that Ross was “being mean” to her—that comment wasn't the problem—and after their director told the two “ladies” to be polite, Roberts asked, “Don’t you mean lady?” As Ross is a trans woman, this comment was clearly meant to invalidate her gender identity, and although Roberts apparently covered her mouth with her shirt like she was saying something naughty, it was a cruel and random remark, not to mention completely unprofessional. There was no need to bring gender into the conversation except to be transphobic.
