Angelica Ross announced on Twitter/X that Emma Roberts called and apologized to her for an alleged incident that occurred on the set of “American Horror Story: 1984.” Ross said during a previous live broadcast on Instagram that Emma (at that time she only pronounced Roberts’ name and her initials) deliberately mischaracterized her in between filming the take.
Thank you, @RobertsEmma, for calling and apologizing, admitting that your behavior was not the behavior of an ally,” Ross wrote in an update for fans. I will leave the line open to follow your desire to work better and support social justice causes through your platform.
In the original Instagram live video, Ross said that Roberts was joking, saying that the Englishwoman was behaving meanly while talking to a man named John on set (presumably AHS director John Jay Gray). Ross, who is transgender, said John then told the two women, “Okay, ladies, you know, that’s enough. Let’s get back to work. It was then that Roberts allegedly looked at Ross and said: “You don’t mean a lady?”, implying that there was only one lady between the two of them.
Like, what the hell did you just say? Ross remembered thinking. I’m standing there, she’s gone, my blood is boiling. I’m boiling because it seems to me that if I say something, then the problem will be me. And I know this because there was someone who spoke out about what she was doing, and it resonated with them. Not her—they did it.
When I saw this happening, I just thought, “I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough.”I didn’t talk to that bitch the whole time after that,” Ross continued. She told me she could feel the energy coming from me. She’s like, ‘Are you okay? You didn’t say anything.’I’m like, “Mmmm, because, bitch, don’t play with me. You played mind games with everyone on the set, and everyone was waiting for the moment when you would get me.
Although Ross only mentioned Emma during the telling of this story, in another video she said that a man named Ms. E.R. annoyed all the actors on the set of “American Horror Story: 1984.” Many followers on social media took this as confirmation that Ross was talking about Roberts, so much so that Ross posted additional tweets about Emma.
“Let me make something absolutely clear,” Ross wrote. I appreciate your support, but please don’t joke about violence towards Emma. The joke is that she will be brought to justice.
In another post, she said that Emma also caused her transphobia by mocking her voice. “We’re all sitting around and I’m copying Cody’s accent,” Ross wrote. I didn’t know he had it. Then Emma copies my voice and laughter and lowers it by a few octaves. I was SHOCKED. She read “blood” to me in my own words, of course, after that I was embarrassed by my voice on the set.
Cody probably means Cody Fern, who co-starred with two actors in the movie “American Horror Story: 1984”. All this exchange of views took place on the day of the premiere of the film “American Horror Story: Delicate,” in which Roberts returns to the franchise — in one of the main roles with Kim Kardashian – for the first time since the 1984 season in 2019.
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.
