EUPHORIA’S Season 3 premiere exploded into chaos as Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney deliberately avoided each other on the red carpet, fueling wild feud rumors.
The co-stars barely crossed paths at the star-studded LA event, insiders revealing tensions have been simmering since filming began.
Sources say the pair’s icy distance is no secret to ‘Euphoria’ bosses, who have banned journalists from probing the simmering drama.
Why This Matters
The public split between Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney matters because it could derail Euphoria’s promotional push, fracture on-set chemistry, polarize fans and media coverage, and ultimately influence audience perception and ratings for the show’s pivotal third season.
The feud reportedly centers on Sydney’s flirtations with Zendaya’s fiancé, Tom Holland, which did not go down well with the star.
“It was an open secret that Sydney had the hots for Tom and was flirty with him when he would come to set,” a source spilled.
Since then, Zendaya and Sydney haven’t socialized, with their political differences adding fuel to the fire — Sydney’s Republican stance clashes with Zendaya’s outspoken anti-Trump views.
Fans noticed Sydney’s absence from a recent ‘Euphoria’ group shot, sparking speculation the rift is deepening.
Sydney’s all smiles on the carpet, posing with castmates, but Zendaya arrived late and steered clear, skipping the official after-party altogether.
Jacob Elordi, Zendaya’s ex and fellow cast member, also kept his distance, avoiding interviews and arriving late.
The once-friendly duo’s cold war marks a stark contrast to their past red carpet camaraderie.
An insider warned, “There will be a sigh of relief when ‘Euphoria’ is over and they can go their separate ways, but this rivalry will inevitably run and run.”
As the spotlight intensifies, the fallout between Zendaya and Sydney threatens to overshadow the hit show’s biggest season yet.
And now the pressure is only building.
