Barbie Ferreira is breaking her silence on her departure from Euphoria.
“I don’t think there was a place for her to go,” she said of her character, Kat, on. “I think there were places she could have gone. I just don’t think it would have fit into the show. I don’t know if it was going to do her justice, and I think both parties knew that I really wanted to be able to not be the fat best friend. I don’t want to play that, and I think they didn’t want that either.
Ferreira said that it was “actually really hurtful” to watch season two, “seeing the fans get upset” about the character’s decline. “I just felt like, maybe it’s like I overstayed my welcome a little bit?” she recalled thinking. “So for me, I actually felt good to be like, ‘Okay, I get to not worry about this, and we both don’t get too worried about this,’ because it’s exhausting.”
The 26-year-old actor continued, “Sam writes, for like, 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. At first, I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m a flop. I’m a loser.’ It really has been a good thing.”’s report last February alleging that she walked off set while filming season two—a piece that also said the actor injured herself while filming a hot tub scene.
