The premiere for the third and final season of Euphoria was held earlier this week, and the red carpet seems to be generating more headlines than the actual show. Most notably, the icy relationship between series stars Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney.
Video from the red carpet shows Zendaya ignoring Sydney Sweeney, with reports indicating that the pair’s beef stems from Sweeney being flirty with Zendaya’s partner Tom Holland when he’d show up on set.

“Euphoria bosses are all too aware the pair do not get along. There were tensions way back … Their paths barely crossed during the making of Season 3. During the press tour, any interactions between the pair are being kept to a minimum to avoid any awkward encounters on camera. There is a complete ban on journalists asking about tensions between Zendaya and Sydney.” [via Page Six]
“It was an open secret that Sydney had the hots for Tom and was flirty with him when he would come to set. That did not go down well with Zendaya. They have not really hung out socially since then.”
