Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney fallout over Trump support delays

A political divide between Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya is reportedly creating growing tension on the set of Euphoria , with multiple tabloids claiming it has become one of the reasons behind the delay of the show’s next season. The rumors intensified after Sydney Sweeney’s controversial American Eagle ad earlier this year, which sparked backlash online for its wordplay on “jeans” and “genes.” Critics accused the ad of being tone-deaf, while conservative figures, including former U.S. President Donald Trump, publicly praised it, Trump even calling it “the hottest ad ever.”

The political noise around the campaign reportedly widened the gap between Sweeney and Zendaya, whose political beliefs are starkly different. Zendaya has long been outspoken about her progressive activism and previously described Trump’s presidency as “heartbreaking and exhausting.” In contrast, Sweeney faced criticism for not distancing herself from Trump’s comments. Asked about the controversy, she said she had “no regrets” about doing the ad, adding that she stands by her work and will speak out “when it truly matters.”

Still, the ongoing speculation underscores how personal beliefs and public image can blur the line between art and politics, affecting even major productions like Euphoria . Whether exaggerated or real, the supposed clash between Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya has become one of Hollywood’s most-watched off-screen dramas.
