Zendaya Avoids Sydney Sweeney At 'Euphoria' Premiere

The cast of Euphoria—minus Zendaya—were reportedly "long sat" for the 7pm screening time, but Zendaya, who plays Rue in the series, reportedly didn't arrive until 8pm.

This is widely speculated to be due to a "bitter" feud between her and costar Sydney Sweeney, who plays Cassie in the show. If you're to believe the rumors, Zendaya and Sweeney reportedly avoid each other "on and off" set.

In a recent episode of The Rest Is Entertainment, Ruchard Osman and Marina Hyde were discussing the effort that went into scheduling the filming of Euphoria, calling it a "military style" operation.

And while a lot of that has to due with the busy filming schedules of many of the main characters—Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi—most of it is likely due to the tension between Zendaya and Sweeney. "You're not going to see those two in a picture," Hyde said.

"Just reading about the red carpet made me laugh so much, because when you're reading between the lines and you know how it works, you're thinking," she continued. "I can't actually believe what military precision this must have been planned with, by all of their individual teams."

"The show was supposed to start at seven, as in everyone's supposed to be in their seats and they were supposed to have the screening," she added. "I don't think Zendaya turned up until eight, which is the ultimate power move like everyone else was long in their seats. There are two shots of some of them, but there's supposed to be a big big beef between Zendaya and Sydney. Who knows where that's true. But they're certainly not in any pictures together."
