Barbie Ferreira finally speaks out about ‘Euphoria’ scandal

Barbie Ferreira, an actress best known for her role on the HBO series Euphoria, opened up about her controversial departure from the series on The Viall Files podcast.

Having played the role of Kat Hernandez, she said, “I think it was very mutual so it wasn’t just my choice. There was just nowhere to go and I think instead of me just lingering around for nine months, I think it was best for both of us that we just kind of ended it there.”

Continuing, she added, “But you don’t want to ruin a good thing. Everyone decided there was nowhere to go and that’s hard, obviously. Again, with acting, things happen all the time and you have to have a thick skin and just make the right decisions for you and your career.”

The actress also insisted that there was no truth behind the rumours that there was a toxic work environment and that she had “walked off” the set, “I never walked off set, there was never anything like that. I absolutely never did that. You could ask the hundreds of people who were there every day.”

About her now former castmates, Ferreira revealed, “I saw Hunter the other day, I saw Maude the other day, Sydney came to see my play. So I mean they’re all so busy. I mean, I’ve been out of town for, like, eight months so I’m like, whoever is in town, we always try to see each other and they came to support the play, which was really sweet.”
