Sydney Sweeney has faced a lot of controversy<\/p>\n
Euphoria stars Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney’s friendship has reportedly shattered – with claims Zendaya is now \u201crefusing to stand next to\u201d her co-star amid an off-screen political rift.<\/p>\n
According to insiders on the HBO hit, tensions have boiled over following Sydney<\/a>\u2019s controversial American Eagle ad campaign and her alleged ties to the Republican Party.<\/a><\/p>\n The pair, who once praised each other publicly, are said to be avoiding joint interviews and photo ops for the upcoming season. The feud reportedly began in July, when Sydney fronted an American Eagle campaign carrying the tagline, “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,” with critics accusing the brand of echoing rhetoric around \u201ceugenics\u201d and white supremacy. It comes after Sweeney delivered a controversial 4-word message to her haters following another scandal.<\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE: Sydney Sweeney risks wardrobe malfunction as she flaunts her figure in sheer dress<\/a>READ MORE: Melania Trump will never leave Donald for this chilling reason, says ex-aide<\/a><\/p>\n One source has now told the Daily Mail<\/a>, \u201cIt\u2019s a difficult position for Zendaya to be in because if she even stands next to Sydney on the red carpet, it can be read as her excusing Sydney\u2019s views on Trump and her refusal to apologize for the racist ad.\u201d<\/p>\n The alleged feud came after several outlets reported that Sweeney is a registered Republican. While she has remained silent on her voting record, Donald Trump<\/a> publicly declared his approval, saying, \u201cNow I love her ad.\u201d<\/p>\n Zendaya, 29, has long been outspoken against Trump. Following his 2016 win, she posted, \u201cI\u2019m speechless, petrified, heartbroken and weary. I don\u2019t know what to say or what to do. I guess I just never knew how many people in this country didn\u2019t love other people in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n The political divide has reportedly driven a wedge between the co-stars after six years working side by side. However, Sydney has yet to clarify her political stance.<\/p>\n Until recently, they appeared close – with Sydney cheering Zendaya\u2019s 2020 Emmy win, \u201cWe were all watching the Emmys because we were all crossing our fingers and we just freaked out. It\u2019s so amazing, I\u2019m very, very proud and excited for Z,” the actress gushed.<\/p>\n She also told Access Hollywood, \u201cIt\u2019s been amazing being able to watch her and just see how much of a boss-a– she is.\u201d Speaking to GQ, Sydney later called the jeans controversy a \u201csurprise,\u201d adding, \u201cWhen I have an issue I want to speak about, people will hear.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump went on to double down in a fiery Truth Social post praising Sweeney\u2019s \u201cHOTTEST ad\u201d and railing against \u201cwoke\u201d brands and singer Taylor Swift<\/a>. American Eagle defended its campaign, insisting, \u201c\u2018Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans\u2019 is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story.\u201d<\/p>\n The Irish Star has contacted Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney’s representatives for comment.<\/p>\n![\"Sydney](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1_74th-Primetime-Emmys-Show.jpg\")
