After pregnancy rumors about Zendaya went viral on social media, the
Euphoria actress issued a rare statement.
Zendaya is speaking out
after being the subject of pregnancy rumors.
Over the past few
days, a couple of TikTok videos went viral that were falsely look like the
Euphoria actress is expecting a baby with boyfriend Tom Holland. They
incorporate a growing "Krissed" meme, featuring an image of Kris Jenner, to
admit to the prank at the end.
On June 15, Zendaya, 25, issued a statement on her Instagram Story.
"See now, this is why I stay off Twitter," she wrote. "Just making stuff up
for no reason weekly."
"Anyway back to filming...Challengers,"
the actress added, referring to the new romantic drama film she been
shooting with The Crown's Josh O'Connor and West Side Story' Mike
Faist.
One prank video, shared by TikTok user @robairesbussy, includes
a photoshopped pic of Zendaya with a baby bump, walking with Holland, and
the words, "WAIT SINCE WHEN WAS ZENDAYA PREGNANT." The caption notes the
clip is a "#joke."
Another TikTok video, posted by user Ryan
Roberts, shows the poster pretending to gasp at the image of a sonogram of a
fetus about 20 weeks old, superimposed on a screenshot of a real Instagram
post that Zendaya shared on January 30, which had contained a promo for
Euphoria. She had included the caption, "I love you. Halfway there [heart
emoji]." The TikTok user edited it to look like she tagged Tom, Zendaya's
Spider-Man co-star. The TikTok video also included a text box with the
words, "There's no way."
At the end of the clip, a "dancing" Kris is shown, along with
the text, "YOU JUST GOT KRISSED...SEND THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS TO #KRIS
THEM!!"
When one user noted that the video was going viral on
Twitter, the creator responded, "I JUST SAW."
Another person
wrote, "This isn't funny and whoever started it I feel sorry for cause what
goes around really does come around." Ryan replied, "It's funny."
After
Zendaya posted her Instagram Stories, a few users told Roberts that Zendaya
was "mad at" him. He responded, "I've been noticed."
