In a recent revelation that has taken the entertainment world by storm, actress Emma Roberts is facing significant backlash over alleged transphobic comments directed at her 'American Horror Story' co-star, Angelica Ross. The incident has sparked a wave of criticism on social media, with many fans expressing their disappointment and anger over Roberts' purported remarks.

Angelica Ross, who joined the 'American Horror Story' cast in its '1984' installment, playing the character Donna Chambers, shared a concerning account of her interactions with Roberts on set. Ross recalled an instance when Roberts jokingly remarked that Ross had been "mean" to her. In response, another co-star, John Carroll Lynch, who portrayed the character Benjamin Richter in the series, playfully suggested that the "ladies" — referring to Ross and Roberts — should maintain cordiality between takes. However, what followed was a comment from Roberts that has now become the epicenter of the controversy. Ross alleges that Roberts retorted, "Don't you mean 'lady?'" to Lynch, implying that Ross, a trans woman, was not a "lady." Roberts then reportedly walked away without further comment.

The revelations didn't end there. On September 20, Ross took to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to share another unsettling experience from the set. The cast was attempting to mimic co-star Cody Fern's Australian accent when Roberts allegedly mimicked Ross's voice, dropping it several octaves in a manner that Ross found demeaning. Ross expressed her shock and discomfort, stating that the incident made her self-conscious about her voice for the remainder of her time on set.

The backlash against Roberts was swift and widespread. Social media platforms were flooded with criticisms of the actress, with many condemning her alleged behavior. Comments ranged from expressions of disappointment to outright denunciations of Roberts as "nasty" and "trashy."

Despite the negative experiences Ross shared about her interactions with Roberts, she took a moment to address her supporters, urging them to refrain from promoting violence against Roberts. In a subsequent post on X, Ross emphasized her desire for accountability rather than aggression, stating, "Joke about her being held accountable. Now THAT's funny."

The incident has once again highlighted the importance of sensitivity and understanding in interactions, especially in professional settings. As the entertainment industry continues to evolve and become more inclusive, such incidents serve as a reminder of the challenges that still exist and the need for continuous dialogue and education.
