Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira, who plays Kat, is sick of backhanded body-shamers 👀 'It’s not radical for me to be wearing a crop top. [Comments like that] are just backhanded compliments. I’ve been doing this since I was 16, I’m 25…' 👏👏👏
Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira slams her critics and body-shamers in a recent interview. The actor best known for her career-defining role as Kat Hernandez on HBO’s hit series became a fan-favorite due to her relatable, Gen Z-tailored storyline. Though Kat has taken a bit of a backseat in season 2, fans are still eagerly anticipating further development for the character and her storyline.
Euphoria, which follows struggling drug addict Rue and her group of high-school friends and colleagues, has become more popular than ever in season 2 - so popular, in fact, that it was recently renewed by HBO for season 3. The show consistently trends on Twitter, and discussions about it have brought"#Euphoria" to nearly 2 million interactions.
It’s not radical for me to be wearing a crop top. [Comments like that] are just backhanded compliments. I’ve been doing this since I was 16, I’m 25… I think bigger bodies are not as “trendy” anymore, which is sad to me. But it’s more of a conversation of the fact that we all struggle with self-love, and I don’t think any young person has really figured it out yet.
Ferreira makes an interesting point about the “toxic positivity” movement, which aims to uplift or bring attention to different, non-conventionally attractive body types - while simultaneously suffocating genuine insecurities. This moment was reflected shrewdly in a recent Euphoria episode, which saw Kat surrounded by women screaming for her to love herself. Ferreira’s comments touch on that need for self-love that many young people have.
A key part of Euphoria’s popularity is its relatability to younger viewers. Ferreira - who will go on to star alongside Keke Palmer, Daniel Kaluuya, and Steven Yeun in Jordan Peele’s Nope - has managed to zero in on this aspect and channel it quite successfully through her character. Here’s hoping that as Euphoria season 2 progresses, Kat’s importance to the storyline deepens, and Ferreira gets another chance to prove her haters wrong. .
