Ferreira once again denied that allegation and described her decision to leave as a “mutual” one with Levinson, tied primarily to the problems of how to move forward with her character.
“I think that there were places she could go, I just don’t think it would’ve fit in the show,” Ferreira said. “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, I don’t think they wanted to either.

Of Levinson, she added, “Sam writes for things that he relates to. I don’t think he relates to Kat. I relate to Kat.” Ferreira said that her decision to leave was “freeing,” but added that it “obviously hurt” because she and Euphoria fans loved Kat. “It was a character I’ve never seen on TV before and I don’t know if we’ll ever get something like that, in that specific way, that was so edgy,” she said.
