Trans actress Angelica Ross has alleged a toxic, racist and transphobic work environment while on the set of American Horror Story: 1984, seemingly taking aim at costar Emma Roberts.

Although Ross doesn’t specifically call out Roberts by name, she at one point confirms, “The person I am talking about is definitely Miss E.R.”

While recounting her experience on Instagram live, Ross insinuates that Roberts once told the director (who isn’t specifically named, but John J. Gray directed two episodes of AHS: 1984) “John, Angelica’s being mean,” to which he replied, “OK ladies, that’s enough. Let’s get back to work.” Ross continued, “And she [allegedly referring to Roberts] then looks at me and goes, ‘Don’t you mean lady?'”

Ross alleges that her co-star then covered her mouth and turned away. “I’m standing there looking her deadass in the damn [camera] trying to process [what] the f–k she just said,” Ross said. “I’m like, ‘If I say something, it’s going to be me that’s the problem,’ and I know this because there was someone who spoke up about what she was doing and they got repercussions from it. Not her! They did.” (Watch Ross tell the story in the video embedded above.)

TVLine has reached out to FX and Emma Roberts’ team for comment.

Ross chose to stop speaking to the cast member in question for the rest of the shoot (aside from filming the rest of their scenes together), adding that the actress had been playing “mind games with everybody on the set.”

Ross said she initially “thought things were going great” between the two on set. Roberts had allegedly pointed out a set of racist t-shirts that a crew member was allegedly wearing on set. Phrases on the shirts in question said, “Build That Wall” and “I Don’t Kneel,” among others, the actress continued. That crew member was allegedly outside Ross’ window working on a particular scene that involved Ross and Roberts’ characters driving away from the season’s killer.

Ross’ latest comments come two days after she accused AHS boss Ryan Murphy of leaving her “on read” after he initially contacted her about an AHS season featuring an all-Black cast, which resulted in lost opportunities for her.
