Sydney Sweeney did not let one rip while filming Euphoria.
The actress, 28, wasn't actually caught "farting" on a hot mic, despite a viral video posted to Instagram on Monday, April 27, making it seem as though she passed gas on set.
While the behind-the-scenes footage of Sweeney is real, the video appeared to have been artificially edited with added sound effects — falsely making it seem like she tooted as she was bent over on a chair, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told TMZ.
A falsely-edited video made it seem as though Sydney Sweeney farted while shooting 'Euphoria.'
In the clip, Sweeney donned a red checker print crop top and matching shorts as she sat on her hands and knees on a lounge chair.
A loud noise could be heard just as the star turned around to look at her backside, fooling fans into thinking she let out a fart.
Sweeney, unaware the behind-the-scenes moment would later turn into another #Fartgate scandal, smiled and continued to do her job as the camera rolled past her to film the scene.
The caption of the viral video, shared to a satirical Instagram page, speculated that the flatulence audio was “enhanced using cutting edge AI wind detection software.”
“While we can’t confirm the origin of the airy micro particles detected, voices can be heard asking if someone needs to attend the bathroom, while another requests that whoever the culprit may be should stop it immediately,” the post read.
