As we discussed yesterday, actress Angelica Ross has told some stories about what it was like to work with Emma Roberts on American Horror Story: 1984. Ross tweeted out some stuff without using Emma’s name, then Ross made a video describing how Emma misgendered her. Hours later, Ross also described how Emma mocked Ross’s voice. Well, after Angelica’s video, Emma contacted her and apologized:
Thank you @RobertsEmma for calling and apologizing, recognizing your behavior was not that of an ally. I will leave the line open to follow up on your desire to do better and support social justice causes with your platform.

No cookies are being given out but I am glad that Emma – at the very least – spoke to Angelica personally and apologized. I also think that all of this is such a “Ryan Murphy problem.” How many stories are we going to hear about the problematic sh-t that goes down on his shows? Angelica said as much in a follow-up tweet, that while she had beef with Emma specifically, it was about “a series of events that tell a different kind of horror story.”
The funniest part? We’re all sitting around & I’m copying Cody’s accent. Didn’t know he had one. Emma then copies my voice & laugh and drops it several octaves. I was SHOOK. She read me for blood with my own words 😂 of course I was self conscious about my voice on set after…

The last 3 years have been a nightmare in ways you are only beginning to know about. This is about a SERIES of events that tell a different kind of horror story. People on here are being unpaid extras whose inhumanity is frightening. Just know I’m prepared to face every demon.

Angelica Ross says that Emma Roberts misgendered her and created an unwelcome working environment on the set of ‘AMERICAN HORROR STORY: 1984’.
She adds that she didn’t report it because one person who did speak up got repercussions for doing so. pic.twitter.com/xQDVqoVa8q
