Transcript

00:00 actress accused her co-star of making a transphobic comment on the set of their hit FX show,

00:05 Ross says Roberts has reached out to her.

00:08 "Thank you @robertsemma for calling and apologizing. Recognizing your behavior was

00:14 not that of an ally. I will leave the line open to follow up on your desire to do better

00:20 and support social justice causes with your platform," the 42-year-old wrote on X,

00:26 formerly known as Twitter. The update comes just hours after the Pose alum claimed that Roberts

00:31 intentionally misgendered her on the set of the ninth season of the television series.

00:37 Ross, who is transgender, alleged in an Instagram Live video on September 21st

00:42 that the 32-year-old told someone on set named John that she was "being mean"

00:48 and John tried to get them back to work.

00:51 "John is like, 'Okay ladies, you know, that's enough. Let's, you know, like, get back to work.'

00:56 And she then looks at me and she goes, 'Don't you mean lady?' And she turns around like this

01:04 and covers her mouth and goes back here but can't see. I'm looking at her dead ass in the camera

01:13 like, 'What the f*** did you just say?'" Ross said she was upset as she stood there

01:17 trying to process the situation. "My blood is boiling. Boiling. Because I'm like,

01:28 if I say something, it's gonna be me. That's the problem. And I know this because

01:37 there was someone who spoke up about what she was doing and they got repercussions from it.

01:44 Not her, they did." The Framing Agnes star said she avoided talking to Roberts for the rest of

01:50 filming. "I didn't speak to that b***h the entire time after that. So we had scenes together and I

01:58 never spoke to her. She said, she said to me, she could feel the energy coming off of me. She was

02:04 like, 'Are you okay? You haven't been talking.' I'm like, 'Mm-hmm.'" On X, Ross shared more about

02:09 Roberts' alleged behavior on set, writing "The funniest part? We're all sitting around and I'm

02:15 copying Cody's accent. Didn't know he had one. Emma then copies my voice and laughs and drops

02:21 it several octaves. I was shook. She read me for blood with my own words. Of course I was

02:27 self-conscious about my voice on set after that." She also posted "Let me make something absolutely

02:33 clear. I appreciate the support. But please do not joke about violence towards Emma. Joke about her

02:38 being held accountable. Now that's funny." Roberts has not publicly spoken out on Ross' claims.

02:45 Access Hollywood has reached out to reps for the Scream Queens star for comment.
