Pop Base (@PopBase) ~ Angelica Ross says that Emma Roberts misgendered her on the set of ‘American Horror Story: 1984.’
Angelica stated that when the two of them were both referred to as ladies on set, Emma replied saying, “Don’t you mean, lady?” while looking at Angelica.

American Horror Story: 1984 came out in 2019, so Angelica has been holding onto this bit of sassy gossip for a while now. AHS is known for its LGBTQ characters, storylines, and actors, so it's a bit of a surprise to hear that one of the main recurring actors, Emma Roberts, would be so bold. But who knows? We like it if it's true though!
Apparently, Angelica Ross believes that Emma Roberts' "transphobic comments" might have cost him continuing work on American Horror Story. Supposedly, the producer of AHS told Ross that he was planning on shooting a season on AHS featuring black women, but ... after Ross got his hopes up ... this producer "ghosted" him.
Hmmm ... could it be that Emma Roberts factual comments reminded this producer that Ross didn't fit the profile for a feature about black women ... 'CUZ ANGELICA ROSS IS A DUDE!
