Zendaya is reportedly refusing to stand next to her Euphoria co-star due to a fallout between the two.

Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney, co-stars on the hit HBO show Euphoria, have reportedly hit a rough patch in their friendship. According to sources, their opposing political views have caused a rift between the two actresses, with Zendaya, 29, allegedly refusing to do press with Sydney, 28, for the upcoming season of the show.

The tension between the two stemmed from an American Eagle ad campaign featuring Sydney with the tagline "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans." The play on words sparked backlash from the public, who saw it as promoting eugenics and white supremacy. Reports also surfaced that Sydney, a registered Republican, has not publicly addressed her political affiliation.

Despite forming a friendship on the show, the two actresses seem to have fundamental differences when it comes to politics. While Zendaya has been vocal about her anti-Trump stance, Sydney has remained silent. In fact, President Trump himself even praised Sydney's ad and criticized "woke" celebrities like Taylor Swift.

Sources claim that the feud between the two actresses has caused a strain on their friendship, with one insider stating that Zendaya is in a difficult position as she doesn't want to be seen as supporting Sydney's views or the controversial ad. This is a stark contrast from their previous camaraderie, with Sydney cheering on Zendaya when she won an Emmy in 2020.

In a recent interview, Sydney hinted that she will not be addressing the backlash and will only speak out when she feels strongly about an issue. However, with Trump doubling down on his praise for Sydney, it seems like the controversy surrounding the ad is far from over.

American Eagle, the brand behind the ad campaign, defended their decision and reiterated that it was always meant to be about Sydney's story and confidence in their jeans. Meanwhile, Sydney has not clarified her political views and both actresses have yet to comment on the situation.

It's a difficult situation for both Zendaya and Sydney, who have been friends since the show's premiere six years ago. However, with their opposing views and the ongoing controversy, it remains to be seen if their friendship will survive.
