Zendaya Allegedly Snubs Euphoria Promotion Over Co-Star’s MAGA Support
Rumors are circulating in Hollywood that Zendaya is hesitant to collaborate closely with her co-star Sydney Sweeney as preparations for Euphoria Season 3 get underway. Sources indicate that Zendaya, now firmly an A-list celebrity, is cautious about being associated with Sweeney, particularly due to Sweeney’s recent controversies and their impact on public perception.
Reasons Behind Zendaya’s Hesitance
Industry insiders believe that Zendaya wants to keep her rising career free from off-screen tensions and drama. Sloan Hooks, a self-proclaimed pop culture investigator, stated, “With her career at a peak, Zendaya reportedly doesn’t want off-screen drama spilling into her professional projects.”
Controversies Surrounding Sydney Sweeney
- Family Party Backlash: In 2022, Sydney Sweeney hosted a birthday party for her mother that drew criticism. Attendees were photographed wearing “Make Sixty Great Again” caps, leading to political backlash online. Some guests were spotted donning “Blue Lives Matter” shirts.
- Soap Collaboration Fiasco: Sweeney’s collaboration with Dr. Squatch, which produced “Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss,” sparked ridicule due to its unusual premise of using her own bathwater.
- Advertising Missteps: Her campaign with American Eagle faced criticism for a pun related to “jeans/genes,” which was perceived as promoting eugenics.
- Romantic Ties: Sweeney’s high-profile relationship with music executive Scooter Braun, which started at Jeff Bezos’ wedding, has also added to the media frenzy.
The Tom Holland Connection
The situation has become more complicated with rumors suggesting that Sydney Sweeney may have shown interest in Zendaya’s partner, Tom Holland. Although these claims remain unverified, they have gained traction on social media platforms, heightening speculations regarding potential tensions between Zendaya and Sweeney.
Impact on Euphoria Season 3
Despite the surrounding rumors, it appears that Sweeney holds no ill feelings towards Zendaya. Reports indicate she is expected to participate in promotional activities and press engagements for the show.
Filming for Euphoria Season 3 commenced in February, with a slated release date in 2026. This upcoming season promises a narrative shift, including a time jump beyond the high school setting. The cast will feature returning actors, including Zendaya and Sweeney, alongside newcomers like Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch, Kadeem Hardison, and Sharon Stone.
What to Expect
Fans can look forward to eight exciting episodes packed with drama, along with the off-screen headlines likely to arise from this highly anticipated season. As Euphoria embarks on this potentially final chapter, all eyes will be on how these dynamics play out, both in front of and behind the camera.
