00:00 I'm looking at her dead ass in the camera like,

00:02 "What the f*** did you just say?"

00:04 Angelica Ross is speaking out about facing alleged transphobia

00:07 from former co-star Emma Roberts.

00:09 In an Instagram Live video,

00:11 the "American Horror Story" actress claimed

00:12 that Roberts intentionally misgendered her

00:14 on the set of the television series' ninth season.

00:17 Ross, who is trans,

00:18 alleged that Roberts told someone on set named John

00:20 that she was, quote, "being mean,"

00:22 and John tried to get them back to work.

00:24 - John is like, "Okay, ladies, you know, that's enough.

00:27 Let's, you know, like, get back to work."

00:29 And she then looks at me and she goes,

00:33 "Don't you mean 'lady'?"

00:36 And she turns around like this and covers her mouth

00:39 and goes back here, but can't see.

00:43 I'm looking at her dead ass in the camera like,

00:46 "What the f*** did you just say?"

00:48 - Ross said she was upset as she stood there,

00:49 trying to process the situation.

00:52 - My blood is boiling.

00:55 Boiling.

00:58 Because I'm like,

01:02 "If I say something, it's gonna be me."

01:07 That's the problem.

01:08 And I know this because there was someone

01:11 who spoke up about what she was doing

01:13 and they got repercussions from it.

01:16 Not her, they did.

01:18 - The "Post" star said she avoided talking to Roberts

01:20 for the rest of filming.

01:22 - I didn't speak to that b***h the entire time after that.

01:26 So we had scenes together and I never spoke to her.

01:31 She said to me, she could feel the energy coming off of me.

01:34 She was like, "Are you okay?

01:36 You haven't been talking."

01:37 I'm like, "Mm-hmm."

01:38 - On "X," formerly known as Twitter,

01:40 Ross shared more about Roberts' alleged behavior on set,

01:43 writing, "The funniest part?

01:44 We're all sitting around and I'm copying Cody Fern's accent.

01:47 Didn't know you had one.

01:48 Emma then copies my voice and laugh

01:50 and drops it several octaves.

01:52 I was shook.

01:52 She read me for blood with my own words.

01:54 Of course I was self-conscious about my voice on set

01:57 after that."

01:58 She also posted on "X,"

01:59 "Let me make something absolutely clear.

02:01 I appreciate the support,

02:02 but please do not joke about violence towards Emma.

02:04 Joke about her being held accountable.

02:06 Now that's funny."

02:07 Roberts has not publicly spoken on Ross' claims

02:10 and "X's Hollywood" has reached out to reps

02:11 for the "About Fate" star for comment.

02:13 However, Ross later posted on "X"

02:15 that her former co-star had made amends.

02:17 She wrote, "Thank you @robertsemma

02:19 for calling and apologizing.

02:20 Recognizing your behavior was not that of an ally.

02:22 I will leave the line open to follow up

02:24 on your desire to do better

02:25 and support social justice causes with your platform."
