Angelica Rossalleged thatEmma Robertsmade an anti-trans comment to her while on the set ofAmerican Horror Story.
Angelica appeared in Seasons 9 and 10 of the show, making her thefirst trans actorto have two series-regular roles on network television. However, she has been steadily speaking out about her experiences on the show over the past day.
Will also tell you about the transphobic remarks my atomic number 27 - maven said to my face , and the racial discrimination I complained about on stage set that they said was “ free speech ” . We on hit so you know I drive time this week .
In a recent Instagram Live, according toscreen recordings, Angelica said, “Almost every actor on the set ofAmerican Horror Story: 1984 was irritated” by “Miss ER.”
In anothermoment, Angelica recalled a moment where she was talking to Emma. “She goes, ‘John, Angelica’s being mean.’ I know she’s not being for real,” she began.
“John is like, ‘Okay ladies, that’s enough, let’s get back to work,'” Angelica continued. Emma then allegedly replied, “Don’t you meanlady?”
Emma then allegedly walked away, to which Angelica continued, “My blood is boiling. Boiling. Because if I say something, it’s gonna be me that’s the problem. And I know this because there was someone who spoke up about what she was doing, and they got repercussions from it. Not her, they did.”
“So when I saw that happening, I was just like,I am done. I didn’t speak to that bitch the entire time after that. We had scenes together, and I never spoke to her. She said to me that she could feel the energy coming off of me,” Angelica alleged. “Bitch, don’t play me. You’ve been playing mind games with everybody on this set, and everybody’s been waiting for the moment that you would get me.”
Angelica then further alleged in a tweet that Emma copied Angelica’s voice by dropping it by “several octaves,” leading her to be “self conscious about [her] voice on set after that.”
