1. Angelica Ross accuses Emma Roberts of transphobia on 'American Horror Story' set

Gather around the campfire for a Hollywood horror story. On Instagram Live, Angelica Ross accused Emma Roberts of transphobia on the set of "American Horror Story: 1984." The "Pose" star, a trans woman, claimed that when someone referred to her and Roberts as "ladies," Roberts looked at her and said, "Don't you mean lady?" Roberts then covered her mouth, Ross alleged. The actress continued by alleging someone else "spoke up about" Roberts' behavior and faced repercussions for doing so. "I didn't speak to that bitch the entire time after that, so we had scenes together and I never spoke to her," Ross said, accusing her co-star of "playing mind games with everybody on the set." Earlier this week, Ross also alleged "American Horror Story" co-creator Ryan Murphy told her he would be making a season starring Black women, only to subsequently ghost her. On Wednesday afternoon, Ross thanked Roberts "for calling and apologizing, recognizing your behavior was not that of an ally." Discussing Film
