As a Celebrity Reporter, I cover everything from fashion and award shows to TV, film, and cultural conversations. This article mentions drug misuse, as well as sexualized content that some readers might find disturbing. Euphoria spoilers ahead. The Idol sparked widespread criticism not just for its “misogynistic” storylines, but also after an exposé from Rolling Stone detailed an alleged toxic work environment on set. HBO told BuzzFeed News in a statement that early production on the show “did not meet” its standards. Zendaya and Sam apparently managed to put their “creative issues” aside to start working on the third season of Euphoria last year, while eagle-eyed fans noticed that although Zendaya served as an executive producer in Seasons 1 and 2, she was not credited as one in Season 3. Meanwhile, Hunter Schafer’s character, Jules, is now a sugar baby, while Fez is alive on the show and has been sentenced to 30 years in jail. and I said the whole drug balloon scenes with rue and faye felt like a fetish thing…… “congratulations Sam Levinson, for being so misogynistic and fetishistic that the only professions a woman can have in life, in your eyes, are that of a prostitute (something that was made very clear on that trash Weeknd show The Idol),” someone said. watching euphoria and genuinely about to throw up this is straight up fetish porn 😭😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/mIhYGnAGCd Meanwhile, other viewers were just confused at the overall vibe of the show. “Euphoria going from an edgy teen drama to a drug cartel western…? I’m confused,” someone tweeted, while another person quipped, “Is this euphoria or breaking bad.”
