Ashley Park, who stars in the Netflix show Emily in Paris, is receiving a lot of criticism online after she shared a social media post that seemed to make fun of the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first Pope born in America. The situation happened while she was filming the show’s fifth season in Rome, at the same time as the papal election and the public celebrations that followed.
Park’s video, which she posted on social media, showed her and several members of the Emily in Paris production team in Rome. In the video, Park appeared confused and amused by the public excitement over the new Pope’s election. She was with hair and makeup artist Carole Nicolas, hairstylist Parizhair, and producer/content creator Addison O’Connor. At one point, she questioned how important the event was by saying, “Does anyone care?”
