The Hollywood rumor mill is churning with some serious tea about a potential feud between “Euphoria” co-stars Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney.

In a dramatic turn of events, Zendaya reportedly refuses to do press with Sweeney for the upcoming third season of their hit HBO show, all thanks to some seriously controversial political optics.

The Ad That Started It All

Sweeney’s American Eagle jeans ad became a lightning rod for criticism after some argued it subtly dog-whistled white supremacist undertones. The tagline “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans” was interpreted by many as a problematic play on “great genes” - a loaded term with eugenics-adjacent implications.

Political Lines in the Sand

While Sweeney claims the ad was just about denim and confidence, her registered Republican status and perceived proximity to MAGA circles have not helped her case. Zendaya, who has been vocal about her political views and comes from a mixed-race background, allegedly sees this as a bridge too far.

Hollywood Solidarity

Sweeney isn’t just facing heat from Zendaya. Other celebrities like Dan Stevens and Aimee Lou Wood have publicly criticized her stance - or lack thereof - on the controversy. Her recent film “Christy” also tanked at the box office, potentially adding fuel to the fire.

As the drama unfolds, one thing’s clear: in Hollywood, your politics can be just as performative as your acting chops.
