Why Are Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney Rumored to Be Feuding?
Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney are reportedly feuding over their differing political views.
Multiple outlets reported in November 2025 that the Dune star and The Housemaid actress were feuding over their differing political views.
Earlier that year, Sweeney notably appeared in a controversial campaign for American Eagle, which many believed promoted eugenics, a widely discredited theory about the improvement of human genetics through selective reproduction.
The former Disney star reportedly refused to do press with Sweeney, and the two also allegedly refuse to stand next to each other at events.
Zendaya Talks Future of 'Euphoria'
Zendaya earned two Emmy Awards for her role in 'Euphoria.'
Zendaya previously confirmed that Euphoria will end after Season 3 during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on April 6.
"I think so," Zendaya replied when asked by host Drew Barrymore if this would be the show's final season, adding, "Closure is coming."
The Shake It Up alum opened up about her appreciation for the role, which earned her two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
“Euphoria, it cracked my heart open,” she said during the talk show. “Rue taught me so much about life. I mean, that crew also has seen me grow up. I owe so much to that show.”
She added, “Rue taught me so much about empathy and about redemption. She taught me a lot, and I'm very grateful for all of it.”
