Why Is Barbie Ferreira No Longer A Part Of ‘Euphoria’?
According to some rumors, Barbie decided to quit the show entirely because of an undisclosed dispute between her and Sam Levinson, who is the showrunner of ‘Euphoria’. But all such rumors have been put to rest by Barbie herself who addressed it in her recent interview.
In a podcast episode of ‘Armchair Expert‘ with Dax Shepherd, on 3 April, Ferreira said the following, “It was a mutual decision, as no viable storylines for Kat have fit into the show as it progressed. I don’t think there was a place for Kat to go… I really wanted to be able to not be just the fat best friend.”
To this, she further added, “Sam Levinson writes for things that he relates to… I don’t think he relates to Kat. I like Kat, so I get to go on my own path.”
Fans of Barbie Ferreira are a little upset with this new development and are wondering about the fate of the storyline in the upcoming season 3 of the show which is currently under process.
