00:00 about facing alleged transphobia
00:01 from former co-star Emma Roberts.
00:03 In an Instagram Live video,
00:05 the "American Horror Story" actress
00:06 claimed that Roberts intentionally misgendered her
00:08 on the set of the television series' ninth season.
00:11 Ross, who is trans,
00:12 alleged that Roberts told someone on set named John
00:14 that she was, quote, "being mean,"
00:16 and John tried to get them back to work.
00:18 - John is like, "Okay, ladies, you know, that's enough.
00:21 Let's, you know, like, get back to work."
00:23 And she then looks at me and she goes,
00:27 "Don't you mean lady?"
00:30 And she turns around like this and covers her mouth
00:33 and goes back here, but can't see.
00:37 I'm looking at her dead ass in the camera,
00:39 like, "What the (beep) did you just say?"
00:42 - Ross said she was upset as she stood there,
00:43 trying to process the situation.
00:46 - My blood is boiling.
00:49 Boiling.
00:52 Because I'm like,
00:56 "If I say something, it's gonna be me.
01:01 That's the problem."
01:02 And I know this because there was someone
01:05 who spoke up about what she was doing
01:07 and they got repercussions from it.
01:10 Not her, they did.
01:13 - The "Post" star said she avoided talking to Roberts
01:14 for the rest of filming.
01:16 - I didn't speak to that (beep)
01:18 the entire time after that.
01:20 So we had scenes together and I never spoke to her.
01:25 She said, she said to me,
01:26 she could feel the energy coming off of me.
01:28 She was like, "Are you okay?
01:30 You haven't been talking."
01:31 I'm like, "Mm-hmm."
01:32 - On "X," formerly known as Twitter,
01:34 Ross shared more about Roberts' alleged behavior on set,
01:37 writing, "The funniest part?
01:38 We're all sitting around and I'm copying Cody Fern's accent.
01:41 Didn't know he had one.
01:42 Emma then copies my voice and laugh
01:44 and drops it several octaves.
01:46 I was shook.
01:46 She read me for blood with my own words.
01:48 Of course, I was self-conscious
01:50 about my voice on set after that."
01:52 She also posted on "X,"
01:53 "Let me make something absolutely clear.
01:55 I appreciate the support,
01:56 but please do not joke about violence towards Emma.
01:58 Joke about her being held accountable.
02:00 Now that's funny."
02:01 Roberts has not publicly spoken on Ross' claims
02:04 and "X's Hollywood" has reached out to reps
02:05 for the "About Faith" star for comment.
02:07 However, Ross later posted on "X"
02:09 that her former co-star had made amends.
02:11 She wrote, "Thank you @robertsemma for calling and apologizing.
02:14 Recognizing your behavior was not that of an ally.
02:16 I will leave the line open to follow up
02:18 on your desire to do better
02:19 and support social justice causes with your platform."
