Rumors Swirl: Zendaya Said to Refuse Work with Sydney Sweeney for Euphoria Season 3
The entertainment world has been abuzz with a recent rumor suggesting that Zendaya, one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actresses, is refusing to work with her co-star, Sydney Sweeney, on the upcoming season of the hit HBO series Euphoria.
Background and Controversies Surrounding Sydney Sweeney
Sydney Sweeney has faced numerous controversies in recent years. In 2022, she sparked controversy when she posted pictures from a party celebrating her mother’s milestone birthday. The photos revealed attendees wearing shirts with “Make Sixty Great Again” and MAGA-style hats, leading to accusations of political bias.
Sweeney later defended herself on social media, stating it was an innocent celebration that had been misinterpreted.
In another instance, Sweeney collaborated with the skincare brand Dr. Squatch to launch Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss, a product created from her used bath water. This collaboration faced backlash for its controversial and potentially exploitative nature. Additionally, Sweeney is currently dating Scooter Braun, a figure known for his problematic history in the music industry.
The Rumor: Zendaya’s A-lister Status at Risk
According to self-proclaimed “pop culture investigator” Sloan Hooks, Zendaya is wary of working with Sydney Sweeney due to the controversies surrounding her. Hooks asserts that Sweeney’s drama could potentially harm Zendaya’s status as an A-lister. “Zendaya has always been a star,” Hooks stated, “but since the last season of Euphoria, she has bumped up to an A-lister, and I don’t think she wants Sydney Sweeney’s drama dragging her down.” However, these rumors have yet to be confirmed by either actress or HBO.
Meanwhile, Zendaya recently discussed the upcoming season with The Hollywood Reporter. She shared that the show will explore the characters out of high school, stating, “I think it’ll be exciting to explore the characters out of high school. I want to see what Rue looks like in her sobriety journey, how chaotic that might look.” With a cast including Zendaya, Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Maude Apatow, Jacob Elordi, Alexa Demie, and new additions like Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch, Kadeem Hardison, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert, Anna Van Patten, and Sharon Stone, the third season promises to be an event.
Official Silence from Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney
As of now, neither Zendaya nor Sydney Sweeney has made any official statements regarding the rumors. The entertainment community awaits further developments as Euphoria season three is set to premiere in 2026. With the show’s growing popularity and the high-profile nature of its cast, the dynamics between its stars remain a topic of interest for fans and industry insiders alike.
For now, the fate of Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney working together on Euphoria season three remains uncertain. The entertainment world will be watching closely to see how this situation unfolds as the show approaches its third installment.
