Zendaya Skips Press at Euphoria Premiere Amid Feud Rumors
8 Apr
Summary
- Director Sam Levinson declined to address toxic work environment rumors.
- Zendaya avoided press and cast photos at the 'Euphoria' premiere.
- Levinson's past show 'The Idol' also faced criticism.
Years after "Euphoria" last aired, rumors of director Sam Levinson's toxic work environment persist. Levinson recently addressed the delays between seasons in an interview, stating that cast members were given fresh deals and returned voluntarily, without contractual obligation. He chose not to directly confront the long-standing allegations concerning his sets.
The recent "Euphoria" premiere in Los Angeles saw the cast, including Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, and Sydney Sweeney, together for the first time in years. However, Zendaya notably abstained from speaking to the press or posing for cast photos, sparking further speculation about tensions.
Reports from 2024 indicated a rift between Zendaya and Levinson, with claims he blamed her schedule for production delays, despite a lack of script and his focus on his other series, "The Idol." Levinson, however, defended "The Idol," calling it "hysterical" and a project he was proud of, despite its critical reception and labels like "torture porn," a descriptor also applied to "Euphoria."
