Hollywood superstars Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya, who formed a bond on the set of fan-favorite psychological teen drama Euphoria, now seem to have parted ways due to their contrasting political ideologies. Sources close to the pair have suggested that a rift has developed between the two friends, with the MCU star supposedly distancing herself from Sweeney due to the latter’s controversial American Eagle jeans ad as well as her support for Donald Trump’s administration.
Insiders claim Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya are in ‘bitter feud’
According to a recent report published by The Daily Mail, Zendaya has refused to take to the stage along with her Euphoria co-star during the promotional events of the HBO series’ upcoming third season.
Explaining the ‘bitter feud’ between the duo, an insider remarked, “It’s no wonder she’s refusing to do it. It’s a difficult position for Zendaya to be in because if she even stands next to Sydney on the red carpet, it can be read as her excusing Sydney’s views on Trump and her refusal to apologise for the racist ad.”
Notably, Sydney Sweeney recently made her stance on her American Eagle jeans ad clear, stating that she was fully aware of what she was doing and still decided to go ahead with the advertisement. “I’m way more aware about things than people think. The ad spoke for itself. I did a jean ad. The reaction was a surprise. When I have an issue I want to speak about, people will hear,” the 28-year-old actress said of the controversy.
The said promotional campaign featured the tagline, ‘I have good jeans and good genes,’ which many interpreted as an expression to encourage white supremacist ideology. As such, both Sweeney and American Eagle faced much criticism on the internet for quite some time.
Moreover, Sweeney is also a vocal supporter of the Trump administration. On the other hand, Zendaya has publicly expressed her disdain for the Republican leader. The duo has yet to issue an official statement regarding their apparent feud with one another.
