Sydney Sweeney blamed the media for spreading rumors that she and her “Euphoria” co-stars were feuding behind the scenes.
“We all grew up together on this show,” she told Vanity Fair in an interview published Wednesday when asked about rumors of cast drama and claims that their busy schedules led to a four-year gap between the second and third seasons.
“It’s honestly crazy to watch how much social media and the press spin things,” the “Anyone But You” actress added.
“I was in first position to HBO. So the moment they say, ‘Hey, this is the first day of filming,’ I’m legally not allowed to do anything else. So my schedule doesn’t affect the show,” she explained.
Sweeney, 28, said it has been “funny” watching people “spin narratives” on why filming for the hit HBO show was delayed so long.
“All of us were in first position, so it wasn’t like any of our schedules were holding it up,” she declared.
Rumors surfaced that Zendaya (who plays Rue Bennett) and Sweeney (who portrays Cassie Howard) had been feuding over several issues.
The US Sun reported that the “Immaculate” actress’s political views as a registered Republican caused a divide between the co-stars.
“It’s not like they have had a big bust-up, but Zendaya has quietly distanced herself from Syd. Their politics are wildly different,” the insider told the outlet.
“It’s a bit of a headache because Zendaya doesn’t want to be associated with a Trump supporter,” they added.
The “Dune” star, 29, and Sweeney ignited feud rumors when they seemingly avoided each other at the Season 3 premiere in April.
“’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,” an insider claimed to the Sun.
“During the press tour, any interactions between the pair are being kept to a minimum to avoid any awkward encounters on camera,” they added.
The source claimed that Sweeney had “the hots” for Zendaya’s husband, Tom Holland, at one point.
“That did not go down well with Zendaya. They have not really hung out socially since then,” the source claimed.
However, an insider told Page Six feud rumors aren’t accurate.
“They’re both in high demand and working continuously,” the source said.
