It was last week Gina, 31, was confused with America Ferrera, who was hosting the 2016 Golden Globe nominations.

The tweets were quickly deleted, but not before a number of Twitter users called the organization out for confusing Ferrera and Rodriguez.

America won the 2007 Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical for her starring role in ABC's Ugly Betty.

Gina was the first actress on The CW to win a Golden Globe for her starring role in Jane the Virgin.
