She’s not feeling euphoric.
“Euphoria” actress Nika King said she hasn’t paid her rent in six months as production on Season 3 of the HBO show continues to be delayed.
King — who plays Leslie Bennett, mom of teenage drug addict Rue Bennett (Zendaya) — shared a clip on Instagram Monday from a recent stand-up comedy set, during which she talked about the future of the drama series.
“Season 3 is coming out … I don’t f–king know,” she said. “Don’t ask me. I don’t know. It’s one of those things.”
The “65” actress continued, “People are like, ‘We need Season 3.’ I’m like, ‘Bitch, I need Season 3, too!’ I haven’t paid my rent in six months, and Zendaya’s over in Paris at Fashion Week. I’m like, ‘Bitch, come home! I need you. Mama need you.’”
King then told the audience that despite their laughter, she was “serious” about everything she said during her set.
“I haven’t booked nothing since ‘Euphoria.’ This is some bulls–t,” she added. “I thought my career was on the rise after ‘Euphoria.’ I thought I was good. It don’t work that way.”
Fans have been itching for a new installment of “Euphoria” since the Season 2 finale aired in February 2022.
The show, which also stars Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Storm Reid and Maude Apatow, has been postponed for several reasons.
