Angelica Ross is an actress and transgender advocate and activist. Ross has appeared in shows like Transparent, Pose, Claws and American Horror Story. She was in two AHS seasons – 1984 and Double Feature. During the filming of AHS: 1984, Angelica worked alongside Emma Roberts. Emma Roberts is one of Ryan Murphy’s faves and she’s regularly cast in his projects. Well, Angelica Ross is spilling some tea about what happened during the filming of AHS: 1984. Emma Roberts misgendered her. Apparently, Emma’s behavior is so problematic that at least one other person complained, and that person faced repercussions and not Emma.
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

I believe Angelica. I think she’s giving some interesting context too, about exactly what Emma did and said. I halfway believe that Emma thought she was “joking” and that’s how it would land. Or hey, maybe Emma is a transphobic bigot and she just says nasty stuff like that all the time. I also believe that Ryan Murphy consistently fosters toxic work environments and he plays favorites with some of the worst and most problematic actresses out there (Sarah Paulson is excluded from this narrative).
Angelica Ross claims on Instagram live that Emma Roberts was insufferable to work with on set of ‘AHS:1984’. According to Ross she was misgendered by Emma and referred to as “not a lady”, and also joked about abusing Evan Peters. pic.twitter.com/vgmpXQqGem

Angelica confirmed it was indeed Emma Roberts who was throwing her weight around set, being disruptive during Angelica’s scenes etc.
I am not surprised at all. pic.twitter.com/6xJR03dpdN
