Sydney Sweeney Shuts Down Fake Influencer as Euphoria Season 3 Drama Intensifies
Sydney Sweeney is currently dominating headlines, but not only for her acting. While the star is back in the spotlight for the long-awaited return of Euphoria, a resurfaced controversy involving a fraudulent influencer has once again gone viral, highlighting the actress’s refusal to tolerate misinformation.
The “Dietitian” Deception: Sydney Sweeney Calls Out Scammers
A series of screenshots have recently recirculated on X (formerly Twitter), detailing a confrontation between Sydney Sweeney and an Instagram user who claimed to be her professional dietitian. The incident originally took place in February 2024, but it has regained traction as fans praise Sweeney’s direct approach to debunking the lie.
The controversy began when an influencer posted a reel asserting they had worked as Sweeney’s dietitian for five years. The post claimed to reveal how the influencer helped the actress secure a “dream role” through five simple “food swaps,” specifically mentioning the replacement of comfort foods like Kraft Mac and Cheese. However, the claim was quickly dismantled by Sweeney herself.
Fans have lauded the actress’s “no-BS reply,” which effectively shut down the scam. It was later discovered that the influencer not only lied about their professional relationship with Sweeney but had also utilized a stolen photograph of another woman to maintain the facade.

Tension on the Red Carpet: The Alleged Zendaya Feud
The drama extends beyond social media scams. The premiere of Euphoria season 3 in Los Angeles was reportedly marred by a “cold war” between costars. Sources indicate that the atmosphere between Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya was noticeably icy during the event.
Reports suggest that the frosty relationship stems from a combination of factors, including Sweeney’s political leanings and alleged “flirty” behavior toward Zendaya’s boyfriend, Tom Holland. While Zendaya spent a limited amount of time at the premiere—greeting Hunter Schafer and creator Sam Levinson before being rushed off by her team—Sweeney attended the event with her boyfriend, music manager Scooter Braun.
During the premiere, Sweeney was seen interacting with other cast members, including Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, and Hunter Schafer, while appearing to avoid Zendaya entirely. This alleged rift is detailed further in reports regarding on-set behavior and premiere tension.
Fashion Critique and Public Reception
Beyond the interpersonal drama, Sweeney’s choice of attire for the Euphoria premiere did not escape public scrutiny. Her gaze was “brutally roasted” by critics and social media users, with some describing the ensemble as an “unusual choice” and a “mess.”
