New Euphoria feud as Zendaya’s ‘tension’ with show star is revealed
A NEW Euphoria feud has emerged as Zendaya’s “tension” with a show star has been revealed – and it’s not with Sydney Sweeney.
This comes as insiders told the Daily Mail Zendaya has a rocky relationship with the actress, who apparently flirted with her man Tom Holland on set.
But now, it seems Zendaya, 29, has clashed with another member of the Euphoria team.
Eager fans have long questioned why the new series of the show has taken so long to air – but it seems the real reasons have finally surfaced.
The creator of the HBO series, Sam Levinson, recently told fans the delay between season two and three was a result of strikes, the in-demand cast and finding the right way to pay tribute to Eric Dane and Angus Cloud.
However, a source told Vanity Fair the delay between series sparked serious tension behind the scenes, creating a rift between Sam and Zendaya.
Vanity Fair’s source claimed the once close collaborators grew apart and Zendaya was less involved with development of the third season.
While she had an executive producer credit for the first two seasons, she doesn’t have an EP credit for this new instalment.
Euphoria, set in the fictional town of East Highland, California, follows high schoolers, who struggle with the strains of love, loss, sex, and addiction.
The new series premiering today, is set five years later with the group of friends, now adults, grappling with faith, the possibility of redemption, and the problem of evil.
Another source told Vanity Fair that while actress Zendaya doesn’t have an EP credit, she has been vital the show’s development and has approved storylines.
The source said: “Zendaya had an incredibly demanding shooting schedule in 2025 and has several major projects that release this year so she was unable to commit to serving as an executive producer this season.”
Just last week at the HBO show’s premiere Spider Man star Zendaya was seen seemingly dodging being snapped with Sam on the red carpet.
In the video posted to TikTok, Zendaya was spotted dashing off with her team after Sam asked her to pose for a picture.
The stunning star, who plays Rue Bennett on the series, looked incredible as she flashed some serious side-boob in a daring floor-length black gown.
Her dress featured extreme cut-outs down the side to expose both her back and the side of her chest.
As she made her way inside the venue to celebrate the show’s release, eagle-eyed onlookers also spied the star’s brand new tattoo tribute to her partner Tom.
Zendaya had a small “t” tattooed just above her ribcage.
