Controversial S#!T

"Emilia Pérez" star Karla Sofía Gascón’s award-season glory has quickly fizzled after hugely offensive past X posts have come to light -- and with the backlash intensifying, she’s now deleted her account.

Gascón’s X account @karsiagascon was deactivated Friday after people dug up a bunch of posts from 2016 when the embattled first trans Oscar nominee ranted about Muslims, George Floyd, and, ironically, diversity at the Oscars -- despite being part of a minority community herself.

In a deeper breakdown of her comments ... she came for a Muslim family dining at a restaurant, mocking the way women dress in Islamic culture and even suggesting the religion should be banned.

Conor McGregor's back in hot water ... this time the UFC superstar is being dragged for using the n-word in a super offensive rant.

The 36-year-old, who's no stranger to controversy, unleashed the derogatory tirade on X early Friday morning ... in a post where he went off on his nemesis, Khabib Nurmagomedov.

The diatribe -- which featured two uses of the N-word -- seemed to be unprompted ... as the guys haven't appeared to have public beef for a while.

12:30 PM PT -- Mitchell's boss, UFC honcho Dana White, unloaded on his comments at a Power Slap press conference just now ... in which he labeled the fighter "probably one of the dumbest human beings."

"We've obviously reached out to Bryce and when we read what he said and let him know what we feel about it, we are beyond disgusted," White said.

He went on to say Mitchell apologized ... but when asked about a potential punishment, White said it's free speech.

"That's the beautiful thing about this business," he continued. "For all of you who hate Bryce Mitchell, you get to see him hopefully get his ass whooped on global television."

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell complimented Hitler and denied the Holocaust in a wildly offensive podcast episode, saying the former Nazi leader simply attempted to "purify" Germany from the "greedy Jews."

"Queer Eye" star Tan France is revealing why he made the U.S. his home, saying the way he was treated over his Pakistani roots always made him feel like a "second-class citizen" in the UK -- and not even fame could change that.

The TV star -- who now calls Salt Lake City, Utah home with his American husband, Rob France -- got real about wanting a happier life at Sundance Film Festival's Sunrise Collective panel ... saying he was tired of constantly hearing the slur "Paki," an offensive term aimed at people of Pakistani descent.

He admitted he thought his "Queer Eye" fame in the U.S. would change things for him back in England -- but nope, not the case. And he had one seriously awful story to prove it.

Florence Mirsky -- the mother of music producer Scott Storch's son -- is trying to walk back comments she made to several valet workers after she called them a racial slur ... and, the whole tense exchange was caught on video.

Video of Mirsky -- an L.A.-based influencer -- is circulating online ... and, in it, she called a man jawing at her a "wet****" before adding President Donald Trump is doing great things because "you guys rape and kill people."

Obviously, Mirsky is speaking to people she believes are Latino -- and, she's hurling every disgusting insult she can think at them.

Sophia Bush believes the public should be seriously concerned about President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's recent actions ... even comparing the Tesla CEO to a Nazi in new social media posts.

The "One Tree Hill" alum recently posted to her Instagram Stories, where she put Musk on blast for his gesture at the inauguration last week ... which was reminiscent of one used by Adolf Hitler and the German Nazi Party in World War II.

She shared an Instagram post criticizing Musk's decision to turn his controversial gesture into a joke and added ... "If it walks like Nazi, talks like a Nazi, and throws HHs like a Nazi ... it's a Nazi."

Anthony Mackie says he's proud to be an American, and was speaking about what he believes Captain America embodies.

The "Captain America: Brave New World" star just responded to the pushback he's getting online over his recent comments on Cap.

Anthony says ... "Let me be clear about this, I'm a proud American and taking on the shield of a hero like CAP is the honor of a lifetime. I have the utmost respect for those who serve and have served our country. CAP has universal characteristics that people all over the world can relate to."

1:25 PM PT -- Dajua stopped by "TMZ Live" Tuesday, diving into the mixed online reaction to her Lyft ride denial.

She shared that she knows others who’ve had similar experiences, which is why she's speaking up for all of them. Check out the clip to hear more of her take!

At least one Lyft driver's got a limit to how much his vehicle will lift ... according to a Detroit woman who claims a driver refused her a ride due to her weight, and now she's taking the company to court.

Dajua Blanding says she called for the Lyft last week to take her to her cousin's house to watch the Lions playoff game -- but when the driver showed up in his Mercedes-Benz sedan, the ride was derailed.

Dajua -- who raps in Detroit under the name Dank Demoss -- says the driver locked his doors and denied her entry. She claims the driver told her she was "too big to fit in the back seat" ... and then it got worse.

Al Sharpton says DEI practices are a must for companies and he's got a plan to support those who are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion ... by buying their products.

Reverend Al joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and we asked him about President Trump cracking down on government DEI initiatives and pressuring private companies to follow suit.

Sharpton says he's going to organize a boycott for companies that do away with DEI -- but in the interim he's organizing "buy-cotts" to show appreciation for businesses that hold firm.

O.J. Simpson's estate is doing legal battle with one of his children ... suing his son for allegedly moving into O.J.'s home and refusing to leave.

Malcolm LaVergne -- the attorney serving as the special administrator of O.J.'s estate -- filed a suit against Primary Holdings, LLC ... a company he says is owned and operated by Justin Simpson, O.J. and Nicole Brown Simpson's son.

LaVergne says Primary Holdings purchased the house -- while O.J. was living there -- back in Aug. 2022, in order to shield the property against Simpson's creditor claims.

Jesse Williams is all for progress being made in the film industry ... admitting he's optimistic about the future of diversity -- so long as it isn't just for show.

The actor spoke at a future of inclusion in film panel for The Adobe House at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend ... and, he talked about two different efforts to promote inclusion in film -- the genuine and the performative.

Listen to the clip for yourself ... Jesse says he sees and appreciates many creators genuinely trying to promote more equity in their movies -- but, he says he also sees the "trap of performative diversity."

Elon Musk's telling the people of Germany to move on from their country's past mistakes and embrace their culture with open arms ... and, many online are drawing more connections to the Third Reich.

The tech entrepreneur made a surprise speech to the Alternative for Germany party -- also known as (AfD), a far-right political party -- Saturday ... and, he talked a lot about preserving and finding pride in German culture.

Listen to the speech for all of it ... but, his basic point is that Germans shouldn't feel bad for being proud of their ethnicity, their culture and their country's shared value system.

An outrageous display of antisemitism is scrawled virtually on the doorstep of L.A.'s Holocaust Museum -- freshly scrawled graffiti to button up a week when Elon Musk's controversial Inauguration Day salute is still sparking heated debate.

A sidewalk in L.A.'s Pan Pacific Park, steps away from Holocaust Museum LA, was tagged Thursday night or Friday morning with a hateful message directly referencing the millions of Jewish people murdered during World War II.

The graffiti reads, "F*** the six million Jews who were not trusted and killed 100 years ago so that L.A. law enforcement can spit on their graves."

Watch out, guys ... no more afternoon shopping trips with the missus -- 'cause a visit to the grocery store is women's work, according to a Fox News host who's landed in some hot water.

Jesse Watters -- host of a self-titled primetime show on the network -- shared video published by the New York Post of Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, in a checkout line at a grocery store.

After ribbing the former VP for supposedly finally figuring out what inflation was now that she's shopping for herself, Jesse took aim at Doug ... asking "What kind of husband goes grocery shopping with his wife?"

Matisyahu says Elon Musk most definitely did not make a Nazi salute at Donald Trump's inauguration ... he says it's just an example of Elon being a fish out of water.

The Jewish singer-songwriter, who voted for Trump this past election, tells TMZ ... Elon's controversial gesture certainly had all the elements of a Nazi salute, but the forceful arm movement was more about Elon not knowing how to act under the bright lights -- though he acknowledges how it looks out of context.

Matisyahu says musicians and performers are used to the attention and crowd energy that comes with such a big platform ... and Elon, being a "nerd," just didn't know how to channel the energy, because he's not used to being onstage.

Michael "Harry O" Harris is defending Snoop Dogg for performing for Donald Trump ahead of the inauguration ... he says the gig doesn't mean Snoop betrayed his community.

The Death Row Records co-founder joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and we asked him about all the backlash Snoop is getting because of the Trump event.

Michael says Snoop wasn't making a political statement by performing at Trump's pre-inauguration ball ... telling us the Doggfather is supporting the office more than the person.

Of course, he also acknowledges the fact Trump pardoned Michael -- for a drug trafficking conviction -- helped soften Snoop on POTUS.
