Euphoria season three star sets the record straight on Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney feud rumours

Jessica Blair Herman plays Cassie’s neighbour Heather in Euphoria season three, and so she’s got the inside scoop on whether there really is beef between the cast – including Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya. 

There have always been rumours of fallouts between the Euphoria cast, with season two fuelling claims that Hunter Schafer and Jacob Elordi had cut ties, although this has never been confirmed by either star. 

Issues between Barbie Ferreira and creator Sam Levinson have also run rampant after Kat’s departure from the show. 

But the most talked-about rumour amid the release of season three has centred on Zendaya and Sweeney. A source told The Sun earlier this month that “there were tensions way back” and that Sweeney was “flirty” with Tom Holland.

“That did not go down well with Zendaya,” they said. “They have not really hung out socially since then. Their paths barely crossed during the making of season three.”

When the HBO show’s premiere took place in LA, fans believed they found evidence to support these claims when videos emerged showing Zendaya hugging her fellow co-stars but not Sweeney.

The cast have neither confirmed nor denied the allegations, but Herman has now set the record straight. 

Speaking on Fox’s Good Day New York, the actress revealed that everyone in the Euphoria season three cast got on well while on set. 

“They really did, and I’m not just saying that,” she commented, adding there was “no drama”.

“Really, they’ve created this beautiful working relationship and everyone wants to do the work, to come in and do the job,” Herman continued. 

Similarly, she showed support for Zendaya and Sweeney, but her comments don’t entirely rule out the possibility of drama. 

“To be fair, when I was there, they’re not sharing scenes,” she said. “Their storylines are very separate, you’re shooting on different days and stuff.”

As for her time on the show, the actress explained, “I feel very lucky because working with Sam was a dream come true, and then I got on set and my first scene was with Sydney, and she’s so generous and vulnerable.”

“You sense this really beautiful, vulnerable, open heart,” Herman added. “She’s a real artist. And I feel very lucky to have shared some scenes with her.”
