Angelica Ross Says Emma Roberts Called Her to Apologize for Alleged Transphobic Comments
Angelica Ross has revealed that she received a phone call from Emma Roberts just hours after she accused the actress of making transphobic comments on the set of American Horror Story.

“She’s just being whatever. And John is like, ‘OK, ladies, that’s enough. Let’s get back to work.’ And she then looks at me and she goes, ‘Don’t you mean lady?’ And she turns around like this and covers her mouth [with her shirt],” Angelica said during the stream.
