Emma Roberts apologizes to Angelica Ross for alleged transphobia on ‘AHS’ set

This “Horror Story” may be coming to an end.

Emma Roberts heard her former “American Horror Story” co-star Angelica Ross loud and clear when the “Pose” alum accused her of making a transphobic remark on set.

“Thank you [Emma] for calling and apologizing, recognizing your behavior was not that of an ally,” Ross wrote via X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday.

“I will leave the line open to follow up on your desire to do better and support social justice causes with your platform.”

Ross, 42, didn’t go any further into detail about her and Roberts’ private phone conversation, but her tweet came one day after she took aim at the “Scream Queens” actress.

Ross — who appeared in several episodes of the long-running anthology’s ninth season in 2019 — went on Instagram Live Tuesday and told her followers that Roberts, 32, allegedly misgendered her on set.

Ross claimed that she was “standing in front of Emma talking to her” when Roberts called out to a crew member and said, “John! Angelica’s being mean.”

“And I know she’s not being for real, for real — she’s just being whatever — and John is like, ‘OK, ladies, that’s enough, let’s get back to work.’ And [Roberts] then looks at me and goes, ‘Don’t you mean lady?’”

Ross went on to say she was still trying to process the alleged comment when Roberts walked away, leaving her “blood boiling.”

“Because … 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,” she added.

“Not her, they did. So when I saw that happen, I was just like, ‘I’m done. I’m done.’ I didn’t speak to that bitch the entire time after that.”

“So we had scenes together, and I never spoke to her, and she said to me — she could feel the energy coming off of me — and she was like, ‘Are you OK? You haven’t been talking,’” Ross recalled.

“And I was like ‘mhm’ because bitch don’t play me, because you’ve been playing mind games with everybody on the set and everybody’s been waiting for the moment that you would get me.”
